About the Item
Japanese, (meiji era 1868–1912).
An absolutely stunning pair of Japanese Meiji period gilt bronze and brass lanterns. Each hand cast bronze oval openwork "vase" form lantern crafted in gilt finish depicting Paulownia flowers and vines. Included is the original matching bronze candle insert base which has been electrified in the early 20th century. Applied symbols to cap each panel, parchment backing to the interior for light dissolving and each rest on 4 curved feet.
These were used in their previous home as 4-season porch hanging lanterns but would also work as table lamps.
*Please Note* Due to the old wiring these will be rewired upon purchase, please contact us prior to purchasing so we can rewire as hanging lanterns or table lamps (Your Choice).
History of Japanese lanterns:
In Japan a to¯ro¯ (lantern) is a traditional lantern made of stone, wood, or metal. Like many other elements of Japanese traditional architecture, it originated in China. In Japan, to¯ro¯ were originally used only in Buddhist temples, where they lined and illuminated paths and lighted lanterns were then considered an offering. In its complete, original form the lantern represents five elements of Buddhist cosmology: Bottom touching the ground, represents chi, the earth, the next section represents sui, or water, ka or fire, is represented by the section encasing the lantern's light or flame, while fu¯ (air) and ku¯ (void or spirit) are represented by the last two sections, top-most and pointing towards the sky. These last two sections express the idea that after death our physical bodies will go back to their original, elemental form.

"The company’s artistic heritage began in the New York glassmaking factory founded by Max Blumberg in the late nineteenth century.

In 1965, Jack’s son Max carried on the commitment of his grandfather and father to design excellence and superb workmanship. In 1976, the company moved to Miami and expanded its operations capitalizing on the dynamic and creative culture thriving in South Florida at the time.
