Description: EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF ANTIQUE SILVER JUDAICA. SUPER RARE FINE EXAMPLE FROM SLOVAKIA. Known also as Pressburg, Bratislava has a special place in Jewish history. Jews have been connected to this city for more than 800 years, and may even have been here (like in Budapest) with the Roman legions. Since the 1700s it has been an important center for organized Jewish life. Hebrew and Yiddish book printing thrived — always a mark of a community’s importance. In the 100 years between 1830 and 1930, about 340 Jewish books appeared, as well as Hebrew and Yiddish newspapers and magazines.MASSIVE SIZE - FINEST QUALITY.AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED.GORGEOUS LARGE PAIR OF SOLID SILVER ANTIQUE SABBATH CANDLESTICKS.AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN EMPIRE, PRESSBURG / BRATISLAVA.CIRCA MIDDLE OF 19th CENTURY, DATED 1856.TRADITIONAL STYLE GRAPES DECORATION.
