About the Item

A Distinguished Silver Bezalel Bookbinding made in Israel in the mid-20th Century. The silver Bezalel book binding is a classic example of the handiwork that was made in the mid-20th century in Israel. Bezalel was not just the name of an artist and even calling it the name of a school doesn't do the name justice. Many different famous artists and designers passed through the school and left their impressions and influence on those they worked around and taught. This Bookbinding is a testament to that fact one can see from the filigree encircled beads that adorn the front cover to the grape clusters, foliate motifs, and palm tree designs that decorate both the front and back cover of this bookbinding. Placed at the front center of the bookbinding is a plaque in the shape of a tablet which has a chased picture of Moses carrying the Tablets of the Law from atop Mount Sinai. Siddur Tefilah is written in Hebrew on the lower front and side of the bookbinding and at the back there is a dedication to 'Peretz Karni' from the family with the surname 'Albert'. Marked and signed on the front and back of the silver clasp at its side.
