Brass Lions of Judah Candelabrum

This is a mid-20th-century solid brass five-branch Lions of Judah candelabrum.

Candelabra and menorahs featuring the Lions of Judah motif have been widely produced throughout the twentieth century, particularly for domestic Sabbath use and as Judaica collectibles. The design typically incorporates rampant lions flanking decorative scrollwork or biblical symbols beneath a row of candle cups, cast in solid brass using traditional foundry techniques. Such ceremonial brassware gained significant popularity in Jewish households globally, bridging traditional ritual requirements with decorative home aesthetics. Over decades, these pieces became staples of mid-century Judaica production, frequently manufactured in workshops across Europe and the Middle East before entering the broader antique and vintage market.
