{"product_id":"monumental-jerusalem-stone-sterling-silver-sabbath-centerpiece-candlesticks","title":"Monumental Jerusalem Stone \u0026 Sterling Silver Sabbath Centerpiece \u0026 Candlesticks","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis monumental handcrafted Judaica ensemble, titled the \"Eternal Jerusalem\" is conceived as a celebration of the eternal bond between Jerusalem, the Jewish tradition, and the sanctity of the Sabbath. Combining the natural beauty of Jerusalem stone with masterful silverwork and original religious paintings, the composition unites architecture, sculpture, fine art, and traditional craftsmanship into a museum-quality ceremonial centerpiece. Designed as both a functional Sabbath candle-lighting set and an exceptional decorative work of art, the ensemble reflects centuries of Jewish artistic tradition while expressing the contemporary vision of the Konforti family atelier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set consists of a monumental central decorative panel accompanied by two matching Sabbath candlesticks, creating a harmonious architectural composition inspired by the warm stone facades of ancient Jerusalem. Every visible surface is individually hand carved from authentic Jerusalem stone, preserving its distinctive texture and natural character while transforming it into an elegant architectural framework reminiscent of the timeless masonry found throughout the Holy City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe centerpiece measures approximately 38 cm (15 inches) in height and 28 cm (11 inches) in width, while each candlestick stands approximately 36 cm (14.2 inches) high. Together, the three pieces create an impressive display ideally suited for grand Sabbath tables, luxury residences, synagogues, executive offices, distinguished Judaica collections, and museum-quality exhibitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the composition are a series of original oil paintings created by master artist Yuri Bogoslavsky on Kosher Klaf (parchment), a material traditionally reserved for the writing of sacred Jewish texts. Each painting is individually executed by hand, transforming the ensemble into a unique collection of original fine artworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne side of the composition celebrates the beauty and abundance of the Sukkot holiday, portraying the lively atmosphere of the traditional Four Species market where the etrogim and lulavim are selected in preparation for the holiday. Additional paintings depict symbolic fruits in the jewish tradition including pomegranates, grapes, figs, wheat, and olives-alongside ritual objects such as the lulav, etrog, silver etrog box, prayer books, Kiddush vessels, and landscapes that celebrate the agricultural blessings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse side presents an inspiring vision of the Third Beit Hamikdash, rising gloriously above Jerusalem as a symbol of hope, redemption, and the enduring spiritual future of the Jewish people. Surrounding this heavenly vision are artistic representations of the Seven Species (Shivat HaMinim) including grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and wheat-together with wine, sacred books, and other traditional Jewish symbols that celebrate faith, continuity, and divine promise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sculptural ornamentation throughout the ensemble is executed entirely in 925 sterling silver and serves as an elegant counterpoint to the warm tones of the Jerusalem stone. Decorative floral garlands, architectural embellishments, and ornamental borders are richly adorned with vibrant hot enamel, individually hand-carved amethysts, luminous freshwater pearls, and refined 18-karat yellow gold gilding, creating a luxurious interplay of color, precious materials, and craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two matching Sabbath candlesticks continue the artistic language of the centerpiece while maintaining complete visual harmony. Each candlestick features the Jerusalem stone architecture, original oil paintings, and richly decorated silver ornamentation, resting upon finely crafted sterling silver bases decorated with colorful hot enamel and traditional floral motifs with garnets set in the central flowers. Together, they frame the centerpiece beautifully while serving their intended ceremonial purpose during Sabbath and holiday candle lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery silver component is individually handcrafted from 925 sterling silver using the traditional lost-wax casting process. Each decorative ornament is first meticulously hand carved in wax before being transferred into sterling silver through centuries-old lost-wax casting techniques. Following casting, every element is individually hand chased, engraved, assembled, polished, and finished by master craftsmen before receiving its brilliant 18-karat yellow gold gilding where appropriate. The result is extraordinary sculptural depth, refined texture, and exceptional artistic precision throughout the entire composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original paintings are individually executed by Yuri Bogoslavsky, whose work reflects decades of dedication to art, Jewish art and traditional painting techniques. Every brushstroke is painted by hand using professional oil paints on Kosher parchment, ensuring that each ensemble possesses subtle artistic variations that make every example truly unique.\u003cbr\u003eOne of the accompanying photographs illustrates the traditional artist's pigment powders used in the creation of the original oil paintings. These finely ground mineral and earth pigments represent the raw materials from which the rich colors are carefully prepared before being mixed with the painting medium. Included to provide collectors a rare glimpse into the classical materials employed in the creation of each original work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery example is individually handcrafted within the Konforti family atelier and produced entirely to order with a lead time of approximately 7 months from order confirmation. As part of the artistic process and provenance of the work, each collector receives a complimentary signed original design sketch prepared by the atelier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Konforti family atelier is a multi-generational workshop led by Inga and Barak Konforti and founded by master artists Ella Konforti and Yuri Bogoslavsky. For decades, the atelier has specialized in the creation of museum-quality luxury Judaica, monumental chess sets, ceremonial silver, sculptural centerpieces, and exceptional decorative works that unite fine art, history, faith, and extraordinary craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Delivery\u003cbr\u003eComplimentary worldwide shipping and full insurance are included.
