EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Torah Case with Finials, believed to be from around 1860 or possibly even earlier. The case itself is made of silver and features intricate repoussé, chased, engraved, cast, appliqué work that has been partly gilded. It also includes riveted elements and beautiful enamel detailing. The case is accompanied by wooden components, glass beads, silk textile, and lacquered wool. The finials on top of the Torah Case are likely added at a later date but still exude exquisite craftsmanship. Made of silver as well, they feature repoussé work along with engravings and chasing techniques. These finials have also been gilded to add an extra touch of elegance. This remarkable piece of art was created by an unknown artist in the 19th century and currently resides in the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. Its dimensions are impressive: the case measures approximately 97.8x29.2 cm while the finials stand at 16.8 cm tall. The photograph captures every detail flawlessly thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in fine art documentation. This image allows viewers to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship involved but also provides insight into religious artifacts from different eras.
