This is a genuine antique wall-mounted lantern, featuring a classic rectangular design with a distinctive domed top. Its most striking feature is the intricate, diamond-patterned ventilation cutouts along the top frieze, not only functional but also a beautiful decorative element. The lantern houses a single candelabra-style bulb (as seen in the photos), mimicking the warm glow of a traditional flame, creating an inviting and nostalgic ambiance. The clear glass panels are original, allowing for maximum light dispersion and showcasing the inner beauty of the fixture. Its robust construction speaks to a bygone era of quality craftsmanship.
Crafted from solid copper front and sides , the backplate is made from galvanized steel .
The lantern is in very good antique condition for its age. The frame is sturdy, with no significant dents or structural damage. The glass panels are intact, with only minor age-appropriate wear and slight surface imperfections that contribute to its antique charm. The electrical components appear to be in good working order (as evidenced by the illuminated bulb in the photo), but as with all antique electrical fixtures, it is highly recommended to have a qualified electrician inspect and install it to ensure safety and compliance with modern electrical codes. The natural patina is stable and has not been disturbed, preserving its historical integrity. See less
