Pair of Magnificent Large Silver Rimonim (Torah Finials), Vienna, Austria, c. 1864-90. Austria crown at top, large leaves around, with nine big hanging bells, all above a column topped by spreading leaves. Two hallmarks punched into the upper base indicate that this is 800 fine silver, made by Vinzenz Czokally. The business Waoerbel & Czokally at Halbgasse 7, Vienna was established in 1864 by Vincenz Czokally. In 1890, it passed to Anton Czokally and he was joined in c. 1892 by Carl Waoebel, and the business was renamed Waoerbel & Czokally around that time. It is thought that Anton Czokally retired from the business in 1900. Following the death of Carl Waoerbel in 1913 the business passed to Josef Waoerbel. The company was in production until 1927. An impressive piece of precisely attributed Judaica. 31 x 11cm. In excellent condition.
Estimated Value $9,500 - 12,500.
