Born in 1914 to a family of silversmiths, founder Shimon Nataf of blessed memory learned his craft as a child. As time passed, he became recognized as one of the foremost silver artisans – among them official silversmiths to the Royal Court. Immigrating to Israel with his family in 1947, Shimon Nataf begged his sons to follow their father’s footsteps, teaching them the exacting and demanding craft of candelabra, kiddush cups, spice boxed, mezuzot, menorahs and torah plates. Today Netafim 55 specializes in a unique selection of handworker items, some preserving the techniques and forms of ancient treasures and other reflecting modern influences. Many are one-of-a-kind treasures made for synagogues and private collectors around the world.
