Magnificent Set of Chumashim by IMG - An extraordinary and luxurious set of five Chumashim, masterfully produced by the prestigious house of IMG. Each page of these Chumashim is a work of art — meticulously typeset with clear, precise script, framed by elegant borders, and accompanied by richly colored illustrations that vividly depict the primary biblical scenes on each page. The illustrations are rendered with the detail and vibrancy of fine paintings, transforming the study experience into a visual and spiritual journey. Every volume is sumptuously bound in deep blue leather, adorned on the front with an outstanding sterling silver plaque, accented with gold and red enamel, identifying both the set and the specific volume it represents. The Chumashim are housed within a finely crafted ark of polished cherrywood, featuring separate compartments for each of the five volumes and dual front doors that open gracefully. These doors are mounted with exceptional gilt silver plaques, lavishly engraved with foliate motifs and cartouches bearing elegant inscriptions along their upper and lower sections. Completing the ark’s refined presentation are two artistically formed knobs, projecting stylishly from the front doors, adding both utility and aesthetic charm. Chumashim: 34.5 x 25 cm. Cherry Wood Ark: 35.5 W, x 39.2 D, x 41cm H.
