A Hanukkah lamp in the shape of a Biedermeier-style sofa, supported on four tall, slender legs in the form of animal paws. The sides and screen of the lamp are decorated with an openwork floral ornament – an acanthus branch. The wavy edge of the screen is topped by a fruit vase help two lions, one on each side. A small basket, also filled with fruits (originally there were two such baskets) is placed on the right side. Between the shorter sides of the lamp, there is a narrow, straight slat, on which eight oil dishes covered by flat caps are placed. The ninth light – the shames – is housed in a handle shaped like a clenched palm, set in the centre near the edge of the screen. Two marks are visible on the lamp:

– the MC (?) monogram in a rectangle;

– the mark of the Vienna assay office – in an oval a circle divided into three parts, in its upper half the number 13 (indicating a 13-lot silver sample), above the circle the letter A (indicating Vienna), on the sides, in two rows, there is a year date: 1835.

The object was donated to the Regional Museum in Rzeszów in 1950.
