Hanukkah lamp. Holland, 1693.
Cut, pierced, repoussé and engraved brass sheet.
Back plate in the form of a pointed arch, in its center a convex decoration in the form of an upside-down heart surrounded by leaves and circles, some of them pierced. On the plate margins are fifteen convex balls. The shamash (cast) is located in the center of the plate (in Dutch Hanukkah lamps the shamash is usually placed on the side rather than in the center). A row of oil fonts is hung on the back plate, beneath it a catch basin for dripping oil decorated in the front with convex circles, some of them pierced. Engraved in the middle of the plate - to the left and right of the convex decoration - is the lamp's year of production: 1693.
Length: 23 cm, width: 28.5 cm. Good condition. Some breaks and bends.

Hanukkah lamp. Italy, [18th century].
Cast brass; brass sheet, cut and bent.
The back plate is supported by a pair of angels and decorated with curved tendrils interspersed with open-work, fruit and animals. At the top of the back plate is a heraldic shield showing a crowned lion with extruding tongue facing left (apparently a family's coat-of-arms). A row of oil fonts is attached to the base. Each oil font has a small duct for placing the wick.
The plate and the row of oil fonts are made of cast brass and placed above a catch-basin for dripping oil, made of brass sheet. At the left corner of the oil basin is a narrow cylinder, apparently meant for the shamash.
Back plate and row of oil fonts: approx. 15X21.5 cm. Length (including basin): 18.5 cm, width: 25.5 cm. Good overall condition. Pierced holes in the back plate, the heraldic shield and the crown. Some corrosion. Light breaks to basin, and some bends.
