A bold piece of vintage Judaica, this hand-turned wooden candlestick brings the colors and contours of old Jerusalem to life. Vividly hand-painted in rich turquoise, burnt umber, and sunset gold, the piece features stylized depictions of the city's stone walls, domes, and winding alleys—rendered in a folk-art style that feels both nostalgic and full of warmth. The base is inscribed in Hebrew letters, while the underside is signed Zina. Jerusalem.
Likely created in the mid-20th century, Zina's handcrafts were well-loved by tourists and collectors seeking a keepsake that felt personal and full of place. This example is in excellent vintage condition with minimal surface wear and retains its high gloss lacquer. A wonderful addition to any Judaica collection, or a meaningful accent for a shelf, mantle, or celebration table.
