Late 19th Century 'Betlem' Model Church Lamp

SKU
DA3439226

Late 19th Century scratch built 'Betlem' model church lamp.


In Eastern and Central Europe there is or was a 'Betlem' folk tradition, model churches are made and paraded through the village at Christmas time, accompanied by figures clothed in traditional mummers’ costumes who perform plays and sing carols.


This is a particularly interesting one, a rather fantastic Gaudi-like church with various coloured glass windows that would have been lit by candlelight. Now fitted with a newly wired electric lamp. A folk art rarity.
