This lantern is a testament to the enduring techniques passed down through generations. The exquisite metalwork features ornamental motifs that are both aesthetically pleasing and symbolic. Each panel of the lantern is intricately designed, allowing light to emanate through the openwork patterns, casting a dance of shadows and creating an ambiance of bygone times. The lantern’s crown and base are adorned with delicate bells; however, one bell is missing and they do not produce sound. The patina on the bronze surface indicates the lantern's historical journey and adds to its antique charm. This piece displays the natural aging process with surface wear, accumulation of dust, and a developed patina. The full condition of the lantern can be assessed through the accompanying photographs.

H 55 cm W 30.5 cm D 35 cm ・Please make sure to review all the provided information and images before placing your bid. ・We make every effort to accurately represent the product's colors and textures in our photos.
