Pictorial rug depicting Art Nouveau candelabra and the Jerusalem skyline. Signed ‘Bezalel, Yerushalem.’ [Palestine/Israel, 20th century.]
Wool knot-pile; cotton foundation.
The central panel depicts a candelabrum with intertwined branches, flanked by two identical half-hidden candelabra.

A horizontal strip beneath the candelabra contains a repeating pattern of Stars of David and the words ‘Bezalel’ and ‘Yerushalem.’ The rectangular border contains a repetitive pattern of the word ‘Zion’ inside Stars of David.
This rug is identical in design (but with slight variations) to an early Bezalel rug; see ‘Jewish Carpets’ by Anton Felton (Antique Collectors' Club Ltd., Woodbridge, 1997); pp.96-97. The present rug may have been produced in the Bezalel rug workshop, but it may have been produced later, based on the Bezalel design.
