Lanterns and Christmas Cutouts
Made in Germany by F. Herold
Our fun lanterns and cardboard cutouts
were created by the Friedrich Herold firm
of
Chamerau, Germany and all date from
the 1950's to 1980's. Established in 1910,
they offered a wide range of decorative
cardboard decorations. Sadly, after more
than 104 years in business, they closed
down the factory in 2014. These lanterns
and cutouts are old stock that we've had
in storage for at least 30 years.
Lanterns have thin wire hangers and a
metal candle holder with fold-up prongs
in the base. Made from thick embossed
and die-cut black cardboard, the panels
are backed with a printed paper insert
so it looks like stained glass
when lit!
The Klapplanternen, or Folding Lanterns
are
pre-assembled: pick up the lantern by
its handle and it will pop out into shape.
The Kastenlaterne, or Box Lantern is so
easily assembled: just fold open the flat
lantern, then insert the base bottom with
side tabs into the provided slits.
We found more Christmas cutouts,
but this is our very final offering!
Light-up your lantern or enjoy as is!
These traditional German party lanterns
were made to be used with lit candles,
so
they come with metal candle holders
built into the base of each of lanterns.
For safety reasons, we recommend that
you light up your lantern with an electric
bulb or use a battery-operated candle.
