Maurice Ascalon was born as Moshe Klein in eastern Hungary. From an early age, he was determined to pursue his artistic yearnings, however in order to do so, he was forced to abandon his ultra-religious Chasidic Jewish roots. When he was 15 years old Klein left his family & boyhood home to study art at the Acadmie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. He took with him an in-depth understanding of the rituals & traditions of the Jewish ceremonies, which knowledge he would later apply to his artistic endeavors. in the late 1930s, Ascalon founded an Israeli decorative arts manufacturing company, Pal-Bell, which produced trademark bronze & brass menorahs & other Judaic & secular decorative art & functional items that were exported in large numbers worldwide. Maurice Ascalon's well-recognized designs, some art deco, others more traditional, introduced the use of a deliberate, chemically induced green patina (verdigris) to Israeli metalwork, which is now a hallmark of Israel's crafts industry. During Israel's War for Independence in 1948, Maurice designed munitions for the Israeli Army and, at the request of the Israeli government, retrofitted his factory to produce munitions for the war effort. b13 Pall Bell Brass Plate, Brass Plate Wall Art , Vintage Judaica, Verdigris Art, Maurice Ascalon, Art Deco
