Designed to hold a candle, this lantern exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship of historical Japanese artisans. The piece possesses an alluring patina that tells a story of many years, likely decades, of service. It bears the marks of time, with scratches, cracks, rust, and dirt accumulation that contribute to its vintage character. The lantern's detailed openwork casting and elegantly shaped panels suggest it was made with considerable skill and care. Please examine the accompanying photographs for a detailed view of the lantern's condition, including its wear and imperfections. While it shows signs of age, this lantern remains a charming artifact, rich with cultural history and decorative appeal. It's a captivating find for collectors of Asian antiques or those looking to add a touch of historical elegance to their décor. We recommend purchasing for decorative purposes rather than for use. It is believed to be difficult to remove the candle stand inside. During shipping, we will devise a way to prevent it from moving inside. Dimensions: approx.
