Vintage Danon Israel Silver-Plated Hanukkah Menorah – Modernist Leaf-Shaped Judaica

Vintage Danon Israel Silver-Plated Hanukkah Menorah – Modernist Leaf-Shaped Judaica

Eight nights. Eight lights. And one extraordinary object to hold them all.

This vintage silver-plated Hanukkah menorah (Hanukiah) by the celebrated Israeli studio Danon is a masterpiece of mid-century modernist Judaica design. Crafted in Tel Aviv, Israel — and signed on the base with the original Danon / Made in Israel / Silver Plated label — this piece stands apart from mass-produced menorahs through its striking organic leaf-shaped form: an elongated, tapered body resembling a seed pod or olive leaf, with nine round oil-cup sockets arranged in a graceful diagonal row across the polished surface.

The surface carries a warm silver-toned patina with the honest brushed texture and age marks that distinguish an authentic vintage studio piece from a reproduction. The back reveals three small raised feet that keep it perfectly level on any surface — functional design meeting sculptural beauty.

Whether lit for Hanukkah or displayed year-round as a collector's centerpiece, this Danon Hanukiah is a conversation piece that carries the light of Israeli craft tradition.
