Presenting a beautifully preserved antique decorative spinning top, designed in the classic silhouette of a traditional dreidel. Measuring 2.5 inches in length and weighing 23 grams, this piece showcases intricate Eurasian craftsmanship, featuring delicate hand-applied filigree and granulation work highlighted by a warm, original gold wash (vermeil).
While this piece does not feature the traditional Hebrew lettering, its form and construction mirror regional spinning toys and dreidels from the late 19th to early 20th century. It remains in excellent antique condition with its original patina, making it a sophisticated addition to any collection of Judaica or historic miniature toys.
