The Salomon collection is described and illustrated in Apollo; A Journal of the Arts, in 1929 asa “Jewish Museum” temporarily housed at the International Art Galleries, 33 St. James’sStreet, London. Exhibited were approximately 500 pieces of a stated larger collectionacquired by Schachne Moses Salomon. The article states the intent of Mr. Salomon topresent the contents of his Jewish museum to the British Nation, to “be housed in Jerusalemunder the protection of the British flag.”

The items can also be seen in situ in the London and Paris galleries, shown more as art thento display their intended ceremonial use. The circumstances that brought the collection tosale in New York cannot be known, but in the prefatory note to the 1949 auction, thecollection is described as “the most important corpus of Jewish silver ever to be offered atpublic sale in America.” It does appear that this 1949 auction was one of the first majorcollections devoted entirely to Judaica to come to the market at an American auction house,and would be followed by the Davidowitz (1954) and Castelbolognesi (1957) sales prior to1960.

Comprising 248 lots of Torah ornaments, Hanukkah lamps, spice containers, and textiles, thecatalogue was prepared with the assistance of Dr. Guido Schoenberger of the Jewish Museumof the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. The sale proceeds totaled $45,750. Skinneris pleased to offer items from 37 of these original lots for auction.
