FAQs

A Havdalah spice tower, known in Hebrew as a besamim box, is used during the Havdalah ceremony that marks the symbolic end of Shabbat and the beginning of the new week. The smelling of sweet spices is intended to comfort the soul as the Sabbath departs. Over centuries, metalworkers developed ornate architectural tower shapes for these containers, drawing inspiration from local town clock towers and spires.

Sterling silver and lower-grade silver alloys are the most traditional materials used for crafting besamim holders due to their durability, lustre, and ceremonial value. Intricate filigree wirework, repousse panels, cast silver bells, and carved wooden elements are frequently incorporated into the construction.

Authentic sterling silver items are marked with purity hallmarks such as 925, Sterling, or official country assay marks. Historical items may also show signs of natural oxidisation in the recessed filigree areas, distinct hand-soldered joins, and maker marks near the base or rim.

A silver spice tower serves as an elegant accent piece when placed on a sideboard, display shelf, or glass cabinet alongside other ceremonial silver or fine metalwork. Its vertical silhouette and detailed metalwork allow it to function as a focal point in traditional or contemporary curated displays.

Dust regularly with a soft microfiber cloth to prevent debris accumulation in filigree areas. When tarnish appears, use a specialised silver polishing cloth or a non-abrasive silver cream, taking care not to submerge pieces with delicate moving parts like bells or flags in harsh chemical dips.
