Product Details
This is a vintage collapsible accordion lantern, often referred to as a Fanoos lantern.
Traditional Design & History
- Origin: This style originated as a traditional Turkish or Middle Eastern candle lantern.
- Functionality: It features a concertina action, allowing the fabric body to compress flat for easy travel and storage.
- The "Florence Nightingale" Connection: This type of collapsible lantern is highly famous because Florence Nightingale used an identical Turkish fanoos design to tend to wounded soldiers during the Crimean War, earning her the title "The Lady with the Lamp".
Physical Construction
- Ends: Made of metal (typically brass, tinned copper, or tin) featuring pierced geometric patterns at the base to allow airflow and light ventilation.
- Body: Constructed with a flexible, ribbed purple sheer fabric that stretches out when suspended from its top wire hanger.
