"Sanctuary lamp" is an ornate, silver-plated lamp that hangs from chains. Created by the Italian artist Gennaro Romanelli (1809-1840) sometime between 1839 and 1941, the lamp is a detailed example of religious art and features intricate floral and foliage designs. The lamp is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and stands 43 1/2 inches (110.5 cm) tall. This lamp is a testament to the artistry of Romanelli and the craftsmanship of the period.
