Description from the seller
Pair of brass and crystal chapel lanterns, 19th century
Pair of small chapel lanterns made of brass during the 19th century, conceived for use in religious and processional contexts. These pieces feature a simple, functional structure, characteristic of liturgical metalwork of the period, combining sturdiness 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 glazed faces that protected the flame from air currents, while allowing the light to diffuse evenly. 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 top 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 part extends into a tapered elongated terminal, designed for mounting on display stands, candlesticks, processional structures, or sacral altar elements.
The warm golden hue of the brass, enriched by the patina acquired over time, contrasts with the transparency of the crystals, lending the set a remarkable aesthetic presence. The light irregularities and signs of use observable on the surface attest to its age and authenticity, reflecting decades of service in devotional settings.
Beyond its practical function as auxiliary illumination 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 for the adornment of sacred spaces during the 19th century.
