Hollywood Blvd Cinema Memorabilia
Lot 1502:
Description
This striking collection of four lanterns captures the essence of traditional Moroccan and Moorish design, expertly crafted from pierced tin rather than the more common brass. This material choice lends a rustic, silvery-grey aesthetic that creates a distinct industrial-chic feel while maintaining the intricate geometric patterns classic to the style. The set includes two large hexagonal lanterns with vibrant pink and blue textured glass panels and two elongated teardrop-shaped lanterns with dense, hand-punched filigree. The light play through these pierced tin bodies is exceptional, though the metal shows characteristic age with light surface oxidation and some minor structural bending to the decorative caps. One lantern is currently detached from its top finial, which is included. Glassed lanterns: H 23″, W 13″, D 13″. Onion lanterns: H 24″, W 11″, D 11″. Please use photos to judge condition and bid accordingly. Please note: Buyer is responsible for removal. From the Hollywood Blvd. Cinemas Collection.
