Authentically patina'd hand-made American country/rustic hanging verdigris lantern with lovely punched detail on the 4 sides--a radiating heart whose center has been pierced. Seems like this was made as a lovely tribute to a loved one! This was purchased by me ~20 yrs ago...it had been outside for many years so wears its patina honestly. This could have been made in the 1970s or decades earlier--I honestly cannot tell.
I had Munder & Sons rewire the lamp; they soldered a hanging double-cluster (candelabra base) socket (w/ dripped wax sleeves) & bronze rayon cording. The verdigris chain & square canopy (Arroyo Lighting) are recent additions. The body of the lantern measures 22.5" H x 11"W X 11"D. 31"H w/ chain & canopy. The lamp has been in storage so never hung since restoration.

This lantern was hand made so shows irregularities in bending & is not perfectly square. At least 1 pane of glass has been replaced (bottom) and possibly others. Door latch works nicely but care should be given in opening it so hinges do not fling open or shut--as they are latch & hinge (iron) are older. Punched metal pattern is irregular as hand done. Also, care should be given in changing bulb bc older panes of glass might not have polished edges. less
