vintage Japanese gandō candle lantern
$158.00
/
Before electric torches, gandō (portable Japanese candle lanterns) offered a way to aim light where it was needed. This wood and paper example has a metal candle fitting suspended inside, designed to keep the candle upright as the lantern was tilted. Its worn paper covering reveals something of the construction, making it an interesting companion to the ingenious mechanism within.
wood and paper; metal candle fitting
H 30 cm; base opening 27 cm
sourced in Japan.
