Classic Hanukkah lamp designed by Ludwig Yehuda Wolpert in the 20th century. His works were greatly influenced by Modernist design, especially the Bauhaus movement. Wolpert’s works avoid decoration, relying on clean, geometric shapes.
This Hannukah lamp is elegantly designed with two thin curved bars crossed at one end which serve as the three legs it stands on. Eight small cylindrical cups are neatly fitted with bobeches formed as flaring wicks behind them and placed in a straight row along the longer upper bar.
The upper bar is interestingly raised at one end to hold the servant lamp which is designed similarly to the other holders in a cylindrical and flamed fashion.
