This vintage Israeli travel Shabbat candlestick set is crafted in a compact, folding box format designed for Jewish travelers. When closed, the case forms a rectangular container with perforated ventilation sides. Upon opening the central hinge flat, it reveals two circular candle cups fitted into the repoussé bases, along with a small match holder bracket on the interior side wall.

The exterior covers feature embossed relief artwork depicting the iconic skyline of Jerusalem with domed roofs and palm trees. The top is inscribed with Hebrew lettering reading שבת קדש (Shabbat Kodesh / Holy Sabbath) and JERUSALEM in stylized English lettering below the architectural motif.
