The "Baraffael Family Hanukkah Lamp" is a silver menorah made by Florentine silversmith Gaspare Vanneschi in 1773-1775, now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The elaborately decorated piece features a central menorah flanked by a decorative, arched panel. The panel showcases a stylized, floral design that is typical of Rococo aesthetic. This piece is a beautiful example of the artistry and cultural significance of Jewish silverwork in 18th-century Italy.
