AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A unique and detailed candlestick/lantern bearer of a young man / lantern lighter with a ladder on his back, incorporated into a creative tangle of branches. The artwork is handmade and has a beautiful patina that highlights the details of both the figure and the leaves and branches. It is an intriguing piece that feels both modern and classical. Perfect for the enthusiast of unusual objects. Possibly this lot is museum-worthy due to its authentic value and fine detailing.
■ LANTERN LIGHTER
A lantern lighter or lantern-lighting boy is a boy or man who lit the street lanterns that previously ran on gas or oil with the help of a ladder. Later, around 1880, the ladder became unnecessary and in Ghent, Belgium this work was done with the help of a long pole.
