This exquisite antique hanging lantern, dating back to the late 19th century, circa 1890s to 1900, is a stunning example of French craftsmanship that has remained absolutely original and untouched over the years. The lantern is characterized by its beautifully intricate bronze casting, showcasing the artisan's skill and dedication to quality. The original etched glass panels, which are a hallmark of this era, feature a unique design and are designed for easy removal, secured by clips at both the top and bottom.
The details on this lantern are captivating, with spandrels adorning both the top and bottom, featuring decorative relief work that adds depth and interest. The incorporation of laurel wreaths and fleur de lys motifs not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also pays homage to the grandeur of the Napoleon III style, which is known for its lavish ornamentation and revival of classical themes.
