Design for a sanctuary lamp

Inventory number: CVH 513/14
Bollaert & Moortgat

Design for a sanctuary lamp: the central part is given in detail and is richly decorated with flower and foliage motifs, with a cartouche in the centre that has been left blank; to the left and right, on top of the bulge of the lamp, there is a cherub’s head. The lamp ends at the bottom in a point, through which a ring is hanging. Above the lamp is a drawing of a lamp holder, of which only the left-hand half remains.
