Magnificent Embroidered Binding
Siddur Tefillos Yisrael. Vienna, 1835
Siddur for year-round use with German translation. Exceptionally beautiful copy, pristine condition as new, with gilded edges. Binding is a spectacular work of art.
The front displays a silk embroidery of an Aron Kodesh with the words “Shivisi Hashem l’negdi samid”. The inside cover depicts a drawing of a sun surrounded by the words, “Mimizrach shemesh ad mevo’o mehulal shem Hashem”.
The other side of the binding depicts an embroidered vase of flowers with a siddur. Embroidered in the margins appears to be a religious poem in German.
The embroidery is protected by glass windows, surrounded by a metal frame on a velvet binding with the original clasp.
An exceptional binding both in design as well as in the quality of the embroidery.
Vienna, 1835. Original text and translation appear on facing columns. Two volumes bound together. [2], 306, [2]: 263, [2]. Page size: 19 cm. Preserved in a cardboard case covered in new fabric. Completely intact.
Provenance: William L. Gross Collection
