AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
• Moravian Star – in this form, it is exceptionally popular as a traditional Mexican or Moroccan-style hanging lantern. • Material and Craftsmanship: The lantern is crafted from textured ("cathedral") glass featuring floral motifs and stained-glass elements, joined by hand-soldered metal frames (tin or brass with a dark patina). • Function of the Opening (Image 1): The top of the lantern features a hollow metal tube with a hanging loop. This opening is designed for routing an electrical cord. A light bulb socket (typically a narrow E14 base) is lowered through it, allowing the lantern to illuminate from within and project the textured glass patterns onto the surrounding walls. • Light Projection: Due to the textured glass, the lantern does not produce a harsh glare when illuminated; instead, it creates a pleasant, soft, and decorative atmosphere.
Period: second half of the 20th century Country of origin: Mexico Material: stained glass and metal Height: 37.5 cm Width: 35.5 cm
