Description from the seller
Pair of capillary lanterns for chapel in brass and crystal, 19th century
Pair of small chapel lanterns made of brass during the 19th century, intended for use in religious and processional contexts. These pieces present a simple and functional structure, characteristic of liturgical metalwork of the time, combining resilience and elegance through the use of gilded brass and panels of transparent crystal.
Each lantern consists of a prismatic body with a square cross-section and crystallized faces that protected the flame from drafts, while allowing an even diffusion of light. The crystals are framed by brass profiles assembled with hinges and small side closures, facilitating access to the interior for lighting and maintenance of the light source.
The upper part adopts a vaulted cover with a semi-spherical profile, topped by a circular ring intended for suspension or handling. Under this cover there is a cylindrical neck that connects to the main body of the lantern. The lower area extends into an elongated conical terminal, designed for fixing to display stands, candlesticks, processional structures, or decorative altar elements.
The warm golden hue of the brass, enriched by the patina acquired over time, contrasts with the transparency of the crystals, giving the set a remarkable aesthetic presence. The slight irregularities and signs of use visible on the surface attest to its age and authenticity, reflecting decades of service in devotional environments.
Beyond its practical function as auxiliary lighting for chapels, altars, or processions, this pair of lanterns constitutes an interesting example of nineteenth-century liturgical craftsmanship, representative of objects intended for religious worship and the ornamentation of sacred spaces during the 19th century.
Certified shipping and good packing.
