This Japanese cast iron lantern features the scarcer double pagoda roof form, open diamond lattice body, hinged front door, hanging ring, and built-in interior candle receptacle. Comparable examples are identified in the design market as Japanese double pagoda garden lanterns and tsuridoro hanging lanterns, with specialist dealers noting the double-roof form as an uncommon variation. The heavy cast iron construction retains a naturally aged dark finish with surface rust, oxidation, and weathered patina throughout. The lantern measures approximately 8 1/2 inches tall and about 7 inches across at the widest roof section, making it a substantial display piece despite its compact footprint.This substantial lantern weighs approximately 7 lb 0.2 oz.It is well suited to collectors of Japanese garden antiques, cast iron lighting, temple-inspired decor, and buyers seeking a double pagoda lantern.
For buyers who prefer a restored finish, surface rust can be removed with steel wool or another suitable cast-iron rust-removal method, then the iron can be dried completely and re-seasoned with thin layers of oil to restore a darker protective finish.
