This vintage brass menorah features the traditional nine-branch design used for the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, crafted in warm gold-tone brass with gracefully arched branches radiating from a central stem. Each branch holds a candle cup, with the raised center serving as the shamash, while the branches display textured leaf-like relief that forms a symmetrical fan shape. The tall stem rises from a wide domed base with a cross-hatched pattern, complemented by ornamental openwork detailing beneath the branches that adds subtle decorative character. Likely produced during the Mid-Century period, the brass has developed a gentle aged patina that highlights the molded details, and the overall form presents a balanced, sculptural silhouette that makes it both visually striking and timeless. It works beautifully as a functional Hanukkah candle holder and as a decorative piece appreciated by collectors of vintage Judaica and Mid-Century metalwork.
