GongDeng 宫灯 palace lanterns, also known as court lanterns, are a distinctive type of traditional Chinese lantern and a hallmark of Chinese craftsmanship.
The city of Luoyang in Henan province was especially known for the production of palace and court lanterns. It’s also considered the origin of this craft.
As the name suggests, palace lanterns were initially used in the imperial palace. They are typically made with a delicate wooden frame, adorned with silk gauze or glass, and painted with various decorative patterns. These lanterns are celebrated for their elegance and regal courtly style. Used primarily within the court.




The lanterns in this post are from the Qing Dynasty and are made out of Zitan (red sandalwood)
