DESCRIPTION

A magnificent large gilt-metal and glass hall lantern, dating from the 20th century and of impressive scale at approximately 126cm high.

Of tapering hexagonal form, the lantern is constructed around six glass panels, each decorated with delicate star-cut detail. The richly ornamented gilt-metal frame features scrolling foliate cresting, shell motifs and particularly attractive swagged leaf decoration suspended around the upper section.

The lantern is surmounted by an elaborate openwork corona of scrolling foliage, while the lower section terminates in further scrolling ornament and a decorative pendant finial. Internally it is fitted with a multi-light arrangement in traditional candle form.

The gilt finish has mellowed attractively, giving the piece considerable decorative character without detracting from the elaborate detailing.

An unusually large and impressive lantern which would make a superb statement piece in a hallway, stairwell, entrance hall or other room with a generous ceiling height.

DIMENSIONS

Height: 126 cm excluding chain

Diameter: 66 cm

CONDITION

Good overall condition with general minor marks, rubbing, tarnishing and wear to the gilt finish consistent with age and use. The glass appears in good condition. The lantern is wired for electricity. As it is a vintage/pre-owned electrical fitting, we recommend that it is inspected and installed by a suitably qualified electrician before use. Overall, a very impressive and highly decorative lantern with a pleasingly aged gilt finish and considerable presence.

As an antique or vintage piece, signs of age and use should be expected and are part of its character. The photographs form an important part of the description and should be viewed alongside the written condition report.

Our tastes are broad, and we’re happy to be led by the piece rather than a particular period or style. Above all, we choose things we genuinely admire and would be happy to have in our own home.

Every item is individually inspected, researched and professionally photographed, with clear descriptions and honest condition reports to help you buy with confidence.

We believe good furniture should have a long life. Choosing antique keeps well-made furniture and existing materials in use, and we favour sympathetic restoration that preserves the patina and character acquired over generations.

AUTHENTICITY & CONDITION

We strive to describe every item as accurately and honestly as possible. Statements regarding age, attribution, origin and provenance are offered in good faith and represent our professional opinion based on the information available at the time of listing.

As all of our items are antique or vintage, signs of age and use should be expected.

Where condition affects its integrity, appearance or usefulness, we will endeavour to make this clear in the description.
