Hollywood Blvd Cinema Memorabilia
Lot 1025:
Description
This impressive seven-piece assembly features a curated mix of Moorish and North African-inspired lighting. The trio of larger electrified lanterns showcases a heavy verdigris patina over what appears to be pierced tin or patinaed brass, featuring classic ogee-arched silhouettes and intricate fretwork that would cast stunning geometric shadows. Complementing these are four slender, tapered “marabout” style candle lanterns, each fitted with vibrant multi-colored textured glass panels in amber, blue, and green. These pieces represent a timeless Mediterranean aesthetic, likely mid-to-late 20th-century reproductions of traditional hand-tooled metalwork. Condition is consistent with age and decorative use; the larger three units show significant surface oxidation and “shabby chic” weathering, with wiring that remains untested and may require professional updating. The four smaller glass lanterns are structurally sound but show minor surface dust and light finish wear. Large: H 19″, W 12″, D 12″ Medium (x2): H 16″, W 10″, D 10″ Small (x4): H 16″, W 5″, D 5″ Please use photos to judge condition and bid accordingly. Please note: Buyer is responsible for removal. From the Hollywood Blvd. Cinemas Collection.
