About the Item

A Gorgeous Silver Italian Mezuzah Case made in Italy Circa 1900. Italian mezuzah cases from the 1900s are particularly rare to find and the ones that are found are wonderfully made and treasured. This Mezuzah case's outer cover is embossed with very realistic sharp-edged chased flower and leaf motifs streaming across the lower half of the case. On its upper half, we find a ringed pierced window from which you can see the inner scroll with more floral motifs flanking a kingly crown chased above it. The overall shape of the mezuzah resembles flower petals and at the corners are four applied loops that are used to hang the mezuzah case on one's doorway. Apparently Unmarked
