Elevate your home's aesthetic with this absolutely magnificent Vintage Solid Brass Hanging Lantern, featuring a rich, Verdigris Patina. This is more than just a light fixture; it's a piece of architectural salvage and decorative light.
Constructed from heavy-gauge Solid Brass, ensuring a substantial, high-quality build that has stood the test of time. The brass foundation peeks through in areas, offering a beautiful contrast to the patina.
The lantern features a classic, stately, hexagonal/tapered form, topped with a distinctive pagoda-style canopy. The design evokes the timeless elegance of late 19th-century and early 20th-century gas-lit street lamps and grand estate lighting, often referred to as a "gas-style lantern" or "carriage lantern."
The interior houses a beautiful brass candelabra cluster with four standard base sockets ,complete with white candle covers. It is currently fitted with decorative LED filament bulbs ,which perfectly mimic the warm glow of vintage lighting.
• Glass: Features clear glass panels set into the brass frame, allowing the light to spill out beautifully and showcase the internal cluster.
Historical Context & Unique Feature:
Lanterns of this substantial size and quality were typically used as architectural salvage for main entrances, grand foyers, or covered outdoor porches of historic homes. The look is highly desirable in today's Coastal, Rustic-Chic, Farmhouse, Victorian, and Traditional interior design styles.
Condition:
Good Vintage Condition. The structure is solid and intact, made from robust materials. The most notable feature, the verdigris patina, is an intended and celebrated part of its antique charm and aesthetic value. The fixture has been electrically checked and is ready for immediate installation. Minor age-appropriate wear and repair such as very slight surface imperfections on the metal and glass, consistent with a true vintage piece, are present and only enhance its character.

Canopy kit and chain are included. See less
