Pair of silver finials for a sefer torah, casting work from a cut mold—seemingly Costantin-Algiers, end of the 19th century.
“Algiers…the last quarter of the 19th century, the style was based on an original from Livorno, Italy, and there are a number of similar examples in collections around the world.” (Catalogue, 50 Tzivlistia Rimonim, 1988, Tel Aviv University, Item #15), as was common in finials in Algiers. Probably done by the smith Yosef Tzaktzik and his sons (see the similar item sold by us in Sale 4, item #228). Height: 48cm, width: 10cm. Total weight: 2500g.
