ANTIQUE COLLAPSIBLE CANDLE LANTERN - ALPINE, C.1900 NB: A decorative object - use with an LED flameless candle for preservation and safety. Chain not included. "A rare and intimate
artefact, carrying both the memory of light and the stillness that follows it." This antique lantern originates from the Alpine regions of Central Europe, dating to the late 19th or early 20th century; a time when light itself was something carefully made, carried, and tended to. Constructed with a concertina-folding body of treated linen, the lantern was designed to collapse for travel and expand when hung. The material bears the gentle irregularities of handwork, its woven structure still visible, its surface subtly aged by time. The metal top showcases a hand-engraved and decorative fret work. A small access lid reveals the original candle chamber and holder within, where traces of soot remain: a quiet record of past use. Beautifully aged, with a soft patina across both textile and metal. The fabric shows time-worn creasing and tonal variation, consistent with age and use, while remaining structurally intact. The metal surfaces carry natural oxidation. Size approximately 220mm diameter x 530mm height (110mm collapsed height) Weight approximately 0.886 kg Please note that on screen colours may differ slightly from the product you receive.
