A Trio of Israeli Jerusalem Temple Style Seven-Branched Menorahs - A collection of three seven-branched candelabra, traditionally referred to as Temple Menorahs, including two brass examples and one silver-toned example. The largest candelabrum is of cast brass construction with a knopped central stem and six curved branches, standing on a heavy multi-tiered octagonal base decorated with scrolled foliate and petal-like relief patterns. The silver-toned candelabrum, likely silver-plated, features intricate relief work to the cups and stem, with a tiered hexagonal base bearing the embossed inscription JERUSALEM in Latin characters. The smallest brass candelabrum features a knopped stem and curved branches, supported by a two-tiered octagonal base with relief bands depicting stylised cityscapes. These items are characteristic of twentieth-century Israeli production for the liturgical and souvenir markets. No maker's marks or hallmarks are visible on the pieces.
