About the Item
Brass lanterns are a type of lantern typically crafted from brass, a durable and corrosion-resistant metal alloy composed primarily of copper and zinc. These lanterns are used for both functional and decorative purposes, offering illumination and ambiance in various settings.
Here are some key features and uses of brass lanterns:
Material: Brass lanterns are primarily made from brass, which is valued for its attractive golden hue, resistance to corrosion, and durability. The brass may be polished to a high shine or given a patina for a more antique or rustic appearance.
Design: Brass lanterns come in a variety of designs, ranging from traditional to contemporary styles. They may feature intricate metalwork, including decorative patterns, filigree, or embossed details. Some lanterns have clear glass panels to protect the flame or bulb inside, while others may incorporate colored or frosted glass for a different aesthetic effect.
Functionality: Brass lanterns can be used indoors or outdoors to provide illumination. They may use candles, oil lamps, or electric bulbs as a light source, depending on the design and intended use. Some brass lanterns are designed for hanging, while others are freestanding or tabletop models.
Decorative Accents: Brass lanterns serve as decorative accents in various settings, including homes, gardens, patios, and event spaces. They add a touch of warmth and elegance to any environment, whether used as standalone pieces or as part of a larger lighting scheme.
Ambiance: The soft, warm glow emitted by brass lanterns creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making them popular choices for outdoor gatherings, weddings, parties, or romantic dinners. They can also be used indoors to enhance the ambiance of living spaces, dining areas, or bedrooms.
Overall, brass lanterns are versatile lighting fixtures valued for their aesthetic appeal, durability, and ability to create a welcoming atmosphere in any setting.

- Pair of XX Century Maples In Hungarian KnittingLocated in Lisboa, PTHungarian knitting, also known as "Nagyvarad knitting" or "Eastern Continental knitting," is a traditional style of knitting that originated in Hungary. It is characterized by its unique technique of holding the yarn and needles. In Hungarian knitting, the yarn is held in the right hand (for English-style knitting) or left hand (for Continental-style knitting) differently from the standard method. The yarn is looped around the thumb and held in place with the palm of the hand, allowing for a smooth and efficient movement of the yarn while knitting. One of the distinctive features of Hungarian knitting is the use of a knitting belt or knitting sheath. This device is worn around the waist and holds one of the knitting needles, allowing the knitter to work with just one hand, while the other hand holds the yarn and manipulates the stitches. Hungarian knitting produces a tight and even tension, making it suitable for intricate colorwork, cables, and textured stitches. It has been traditionally used for knitting items such as socks, mittens, and sweaters, often adorned with intricate patterns and motifs. While Hungarian knitting has its roots in traditional Hungarian textile...Category
