This is a charming pair of vintage Middle Eastern brass candle lanterns, featuring intricate openwork with traditional pierced scalloped patterns, camels, and palm trees. Designed to create a beautiful, ambient light display when illuminated, each cylindrical lantern features a domed lid with a classic finial and lifts away from a three-footed, paw-styled base containing a central candle cup. While these pieces do not bear a visible manufacturer's mark—which is highly typical for traditional, regional brassware—their design, construction, and rich, aged patina strongly suggest they were handcrafted as souvenir or export wares in the mid-to-late 20th century, likely originating from regions like Egypt or North Africa. Both lanterns are in good vintage condition, exhibiting authentic tarnishing, minor verdigris inside the base, and light wear consistent with age and use, adding to their rustic, historic appeal.
