Bidspirit auction | Silver Etrog Box – Europe,


Silver Etrog Box – Europe, 19th - A magnificent and elegant silver Etrog box, crafted in fine cast and repoussé work, shaped as a naturalistic citron (Etrog) with refined texture and precise detailing. Stamped “800” inside the stem. The body of the box is formed as a complete Etrog, with soft ridges and gentle curves creating a lifelike and graceful appearance. The box opens on discreet hinges, seamlessly integrated into the design with elegant harmony. This work combines European precision and craftsmanship with spiritual symbolism and refinement – the Etrog, one of the Four Species, represents the heart and the beauty of mitzvah observance; the box designed to protect it embodies both beauty and sanctity. Length (including stem): 15 cm | Maximum width: 8.5 cm Condition: Very good. An impressive and rare piece, a fine example of Jewish silver artistry in Europe, where sacred symbolism meets refined aesthetics, reflecting the artistic and spiritual spirit of Jewish homes in Europe at the close of the 19th century.
