An extra large Sterling silver Menorah - a very stylish articulated candelabra of heavy gauge silver of nine triangular or inverted pyramid shape candle cups (including one removable holder for lighting the others) on angular arms that can be rotated to form a branch table candelabra. Photos show both the candelabra set up as a Menorah and as a branch candelabra. There is also a small removable jug for oil. All parts of the candelabra are sterling silver including the central rod and nut that secures it all together. The Menorah easily comes apart into sections for packing and transport. Of striking design and imposing scale it would suit both modern and classic interiors.
- marked inside the base for an unidentified maker (LMM) and pre 1979 Mexican Eagle mark (see photo) - total weight 1880grms ( 60.44 troy ounces ) - overall dimensions height=525mm, width=395mm, base=152x150mm - the candle cup diameter at the top opening is 25mm so will take a candle up to this size - c.1970 Mexico
Very good condition with light surface wear from normal use to the silver. Some light areas of tarnish and oxidisation that could be removed by further polishing if so desired by the new owner. On inspection with a loupe during cleaning we noticed a slight roughness on one elbow join of one arm of the candelabra and we have magnified this to show this area in the last photo This could easily be attended to by a competent silversmith if of concern to the new owner, and although very minor, mentioned for accuracy. Please refer to the photos as they form an integral part of the description. This is a top quality candelabra using an innovative design to great effect.
