Standing tall with an impressive presence, each lantern is meticulously crafted from heavy, durable solid brass and finished with a striking, time-honed verdigris patina that gives them the coveted look of treasured historic antiques.
The design is anchored by a stately cast brass American eagle perched proudly atop the domed, vented top cap, symbolizing timeless heritage and traditional craftsmanship. Below the majestic finial, a multi-tiered bell-shaped crown features classic ventilation piercings leading down to a hexagonal glass-paneled lantern housing. Each fixture extends gracefully from the wall via a robust, shield-shaped backplate that flows into a beautifully detailed cylindrical lower drop pendant, complete with subtle beading and a finely cast floral rosette finial.
In wonderful vintage condition, this matching pair shows a gorgeous, authentic weathered verdigris finish with natural tonal variations that accentuate their vintage pedigree. The structural integrity is exceptionally solid and heavy, and the clear glass panels are intact. They are currently wired with standard candelabra-base sockets and cords, making them ready to install and cast a warm, inviting glow in an entryway, flanking a grand front door, illuminating a hallway, or adding character to a patio or porch.
Whether you are restoring a historic home, designing a traditional library, or looking to infuse a coastal or colonial interior with high-end architectural hardware, this rare matching pair of heavy brass eagle lanterns offers unmatched decorative impact. Exceptional scale, historic detailing, and dual symmetry make matching pairs like this exceedingly difficult to find.
