Overview
The Michael Aram Palm Menorah is a designer Hanukkah menorah that pairs artisan metalwork with a solid marble base for a refined holiday focal point. Nickel-plated and hand-finished, it interprets a palm-leaf motif in Michael Aram’s signature sculptural style, making it suitable for households that want ritual objects to double as modern décor. It holds the full nine candles required for Hanukkah observance while the marble base provides weight and stability on tabletops or mantels. Ideal for gift-giving, seasonal centerpieces, or collectors of contemporary Judaica, this piece requires gentle care (hand wash recommended) to maintain its plated finish and polished stone base.
Key Features
- Materials: hand-finished nickel-plated metal body with a solid marble base for stability and contrast.
- Candle capacity: nine holders (including a raised shamash) configured for traditional Hanukkah lighting.
- Design: sculptural palm-leaf motif consistent with Michael Aram’s nature-inspired aesthetic; serves as both ritual object and decorative sculpture.
- Care: labeled hand-wash only — clean metal with mild soap and soft cloth, blot marble dry immediately to avoid water marks.
- Origin and construction: imported, artisan-crafted detailing for a premium finish and collectible feel.
Pros & Cons

Frequently Asked Questions
This menorah is designed for standard Hanukkah taper candles (the narrow tapers used for nine-branch menorahs). If you prefer battery-powered LED candles, choose ones sized to fit the candle cups securely; always ensure candles sit straight and stable before lighting.
