Cloisonné Lantern Torcherie Set of Two 49” High

This rare pair of Chinese cloisonné lanterns makes a wonderful addition to any home. These ceremonial pagoda shrine lanterns are aged and restored, handmade with turquoise enamel and copper wire, and offer unique lighting options. The hexagonal pagoda top with cloisonné bells is removable, providing a flat inside surface for candles, oil lamps, or light fixtures, or serving as a torcherie for incense. The lantern top's open fretwork creates a unique lighting effect and, with incense, adds a smoky, magical touch. Blue and turquoise enamels, along with floral, dragon, and other Buddhist symbols, create a cultural, colorful architectural statue for an Asian-inspired room. This vintage set dates back to the mid-19th century and was used in Asian temples, royal settings, and other high-status spaces; we are pleased to offer this rare set.
