This vintage Chinese lantern features a hand-assembled wire frame wrapped in printed paper panels adorned with traditional Chinese characters. The lantern sits on a small wooden base and retains its original wire suspension structure at the top, showcasing its handcrafted construction.
Likely produced in the mid-20th century, this piece reflects the enduring form of traditional Chinese lanterns made for decorative or ceremonial use. The aged paper surface and visible wirework give it a richly textured, timeworn appearance, making it a striking accent for shelves, consoles, or vignette styling.
Ideal as a decorative object, sculptural accent, or collectible example of mid-century Asian folk decor.
