Cityscape sculpture - H. Karshi 925 Silver gilded Gold Jerusalem Centerpiece 4\" For Sale

Gorgeous Translucent Piece, stunning in person. This sculptural Judaica candle holder presents a highly dimensional Jerusalem cityscape rendered in 925 silver over a formed hollow shell core. The architecture is built in deep relief, with layered buildings, arches, domes, and a prominent windmill, giving the surface a three‑dimensional, almost topographical quality that stands apart from flatter cityscape designs. A sun motif rises between buildings through the skyline, and seven small “windows” become building blocks next to an entry, many windows throughout the globe shine with translucency in amber and gold with a translucent insert that catches the light when the candle is lit. You may notice different colors in the photos - these are not AI - these are from a small camera phone.

The 925 silver hallmark is integrated directly into the architectural design rather than stamped separately, consistent with artisan workshop construction. Gilded highlights accent select domes and details, adding contrast to the silver surface. The piece measures approximately 4 in tall and 4.5 in across, with a total weight of 406 g; as typical for sculptural Judaica, it is a sterling silver over a formed core with a hollow center. Designed as a single decorative candle holder rather than a Shabbat candlestick pair, it functions as both a usable object and a compact architectural sculpture, reflecting mid‑century Jerusalem workshop style in its motifs, relief depth, and craftsmanship. The sterling silver layer is fused over a formed gypsum shell, with a small vent opening at the base (covered by felt) typical of workshop-made sculptural Judaica.
