Buyer's premium:

Pair of handsome finials for a sefer torah, silverwork done by hand: hammering, welding, burning and cutting. At the top of each is a handsome crown with a lion finish standing on a silver ball. The pillars are wrapped throughout with hammerwork of floral patterns, with welding of grapevines. On the bottom is an additional attachment of a matching round base. Each has 4 silver bells. Wonderful work from the turn of the century.

Weight: 702g. Height: 33cm. Light defects, light asymmetry between the two (as is typical when done byhand). Overall very good condition.
