Striking and rare, this pair of monumental processional lanterns hails from Lucca, Italy, circa 1800. Each lantern features a tall metal and glass frame crowned with original velvet trim accented by brass studs, mounted atop elaborately carved and painted wood bases in gesso. The craftsmanship reflects the theatrical grandeur and religious symbolism of Catholic processionals of the period.
Standing over eight feet tall, these lanterns offer exceptional height, scale, and visual drama. While the wiring needs updating, their architectural presence and patinated charm make them ideal for use in interiors, events, or displays where historic Italian ecclesiastical elements are desired.
