Item Details
Description
The workmanship is detailed and extensive. There are chrysanthemums, artemisia leaves, and scrolling gingko leaves. Brads hold the top to a wooden base. Brads are also used to fasten bands around the mouth to the frame. A smaller screen lines the inside of the mouth. There is a hole in the center of the wooden base.
We are conservatively dating the lantern to the first half of the 20th Century; however, the brads appear to be somewhat irregular. This suggests that they were not made using a precision machine, and therefore the entire lantern might be a bit earlier, even Meiji Period.
MEASUREMENTS
9 ¾” (24.8 cm) diameter x 12” (30.5 cm) tall. Weighs 1 lb 13.5 oz (835 g)
CONDITION
There are no cracks, breaks or repairs. There are a few minor indentations and a couple of the welds that hold the fretwork to the frame are loose. The inset screen band at the mouth is not joined, although that is intentional. There is a reddish stain on one panel and a green spot on one rib. The metal has mellowed with oxidization and age.
A great shade to add to a modern lighted fixture, or to use as a luminaria. It is rich looking because of age and hand workmanship. I can see this shade in many decors from mid-century to arts and crafts.
