Towle Mid-Century Modern Menorah

A handsome Towle menorah with nine candle cups, executed in a fluid sculptural form that pulls the gilt cups out of a swept silverplate body rising from a freely modeled base. The contrast between the bright vermeil cups and the rippled silver body gives the piece real presence, and the asymmetrical placement of the shamash, raised at the right shoulder, is a thoughtful touch. A well-made Judaica piece from a serious American maker.

[condition] The piece is in good overall condition with a light patina across the silverplate body that adds character and depth to the swept fluting. The gilt candle cups remain bright and even.
