AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original Moroccan lantern, antique and authentic, from the late 19th / early 20th century, over 100 years old, handmade by artisanal craft in hand-worked brass, with original colored glass. An authentic antique piece, not a reproduction or a modern decorative item.

It retains the original patina, riveted structure, and traditional craftsmanship. The door and its closing mechanism work properly, and the glass panes are intact, solid, and in good condition, with irregularities typical of old glass.
It shows wear and tear consistent with its age, as well as traces of soot on the interior, indicative of real use with a candle or oil. It has not been restored or modified, maintaining its original condition, which preserves its historical and collectible value.
An ideal piece for collectors of Islamic art, historical decoration, traditional settings, or cultural heritage. Diameter 20 cm. Height 35 cm.
