An Italian tôle lantern from the 18th century with gilded, rococo motifs on dark metal housing. Crowned with a gilded finial to symbolize a burning flame, the theme continues down the patinated roof of the lantern as palmette garlands. The elliptical glass windows are highlighted by gilding, and the interior also reflects a golden aura to disperse the light of a single bulb. While the modern convenience of electricity might have displaced lanterns like these, the enchanting design leaves an impression anywhere around the home.
