    Dear friends I would like to have your help with this charming old candle holder lamp or incense burner.
    It has very rough glass cabochons. Could you help me with the origin and possibly the age?
    Thanks 1.jpg 2.jpg

    Definitely Middle East or N African IMO. I’d probably guess Moroccan first but could be totally wrong. Love it!

    Thank you. I also thought of Morocco as a country of origin. Do you think it's a lamp or an incense burner?

    Burner but could be used for either. Personally I’d put a candle in it as I don’t use incense.

    @Any Jewelry should be able to give you better info.
