Hanukkah candelabra

The shape corresponds to that indicated by the master's stamp, presumably a late series production.

A master's stamp with the initials "CS" on the front of the back wall next to the hole for a hanger, a second stamp corrupted.

The model corresponds to a type of lamp that is attributed to the pewterer Carl Sichler from Horb am Neckar in the 18th century via the master's stamp and was produced several times in this basic form with variations in the decoration. From the end of the 19th century, this early form was probably used by other workshops for serial production.

The Hanukkah candelabra is made in a so-called bench shape in the Rococo style. The back wall is flanked by two angel figures, with a relief ornament at the top centre. Below this are two openings and a hole for hanging. The surface in the centre is chased. The drip tray connected to the back wall stands on four feet. An eight-flame oil bank is suspended in the centre of the back wall, fastened with an eyelet and presumably a peg. Next to it on the left is a decorative attachment, and on the right, in the opposite direction, the plug-in device for the shamash, the ‘servant's’ light. Below the bench, two outlets into the drip tray, from which two small containers in the shape of small buckets are suspended. One bucket is missing.
