VINTAGE JUDAICA TABLECLOTH 6 NAPKIN LION BIRD
Judaica: Vintage Lion of Judah hand embroidered tablecloth with 6 napkins. Bought in Israel, but probably pre-dates the State (ie Palestine era).
Cloth measures 27 1/2 inches square. Napkins are a little over 8 1/4inches square.
Cloth is a pale cream colour. Embroidery in pale blue. The hand work is extremely fine and of the highest quality. Simple geometric borders and outlines. The cloth has a central square, each side with a blue diamond-shape containing a geometric stylised bird - possibly of Russian / other Eastern European influence. A wider square around this has 4 larger diamond-shapes in blue, each containing a similar bird, even more reminiscent of the Russian eagle above a pair of lions, surrounded by stylised flowers.
The borders and birds are repeated on the 6 napkins.
Good condition with a few tiny negligible brown spots as is to be expected.

Measures 7 X 9 1/2inches.
Made of silk and lined with cotton. Drawstring top.

JUDAICA ISRAEL PAINTING LISTED ARTIST CHILDRN
Early Eretz Yisrael / Palestine signed water color painting of children picking oranges in original frame by Erna Grossman Kneller.
Measures 9 1/2 X 6 1/2inchs excluding the wooden frame.
This painting was probably used later in school text books. It is immediately recognisable to everyone who was educated in Israel about 50 years ago. This is the original.
A pair of young children are picking oranges. The boy climbs a ladder, followed by a large frog. The girl, a pair of pruning scissors in hand, picks a great big orange. Many more lie scattered around or in the overflowing basket near the ladder. The girl wears a scarf, pantaloons and suspenders holding up her stockings. Butterflies flutter behind her.
The painting is signed Kneller, lower right.
Very nice, old wooden frame.
Both frame and painting are in very good condition. No damage of any sort.
The paper backing the frame hints at the days of the British Mandate.
