Decorative Collar of Rebbetzin Shterna Sarah (Wife of the Rebbe Rashab of Lubavitch)
Fabric collar (to be worn around the neck as an elegant decoration) of Rebbetzin Shterna Sarah Schneerson, wife of the Rebbe Rashab of Lubavitch.
Fine lacework.
Enclosed is a letter of authenticity (handwritten note in English), signed in Hebrew by Rebbetzin Chana Gurary (1899-1991), eldest daughter of the Rebbe Rayatz: "I hereby gift… a decorative collar worn by my grandmother Shterna Sara for many years". The letter is dated March 4, 1990.
There is a known photograph of Rebbetzin Shterna Sarah from the late 1920s next to her great-grandson Barry Gurary (aged six or seven at the time) in which she is wearing a white collar whose form and style are reminiscent of the present collar (see enclosed picture).
Rebbetzin Shterna Sarah Schneerson, wife of the Rebbe Rashab and mother of the Rebbe Rayatz. Born in Lubavitch in 1860 to Rebbe Yosef Yitzchak of Ovruch, son of the Tzemach Tzedek, and Chana, daughter of R. Yaakov Yisrael of Cherkasy, son-in-law of the Mitteler Rebbe.
In 1865, she became engaged to the Rashab. The engagement was celebrated in the home of the Tzemach Tzedek (the groom and bride were both five years old). The couple wed ten years later, in 1875. She stood beside her husband and assisted him in all communal matters. She was very active in supporting the Tomchei Temimim yeshiva, and established an international women's organization in support of the students of the boys' schools of Lubavitch. In 1940, she escaped occupied Warsaw to the United States together with her only son, the Rebbe Rayatz. She passed away on 13 Shevat, 1942, and was buried in New York. The Beit Sarah network of girls' schools was named after her.
Length: Approx. 40 cm. Width: Approx. 29 cm. Good condition. Stains and light wear.
Included is a fine metal box, with a cover decorated in hand-illustrated vegetal patterns, which may have also been used by the rebbe or his family (the box was given along with the collar, but it is not mentioned in the letter of authenticity).
