A Playful and Ornate Mid-Century Candle Holder

This charming vintage iron lantern from 1950s Japan blends playful design with traditional craftsmanship. The rounded body features intricate openwork panels that allow candlelight to gently filter through, casting atmospheric shadows. A hinged door on the side opens to reveal space for a small candle, making it both decorative and functional.

Suspended from two whimsical "monkey hanger" hooks—each figure cleverly grasping the next—this piece adds a lighthearted touch to its sturdy, cast-iron form. Ideal for hanging in a garden, entryway, or alcove, it captures a unique blend of humor, warmth, and classic Japanese metalwork.
