A beautifully weathered antique lantern crafted in copper with hand-forged iron grille work and frosted glass panels. Dating from the early 20th century, this architectural fixture displays the rich verdigris patina and honest wear that only decades of exposure can create. The lantern features a tapered form with pierced decorative details beneath the roofline, hand-formed metal construction, and protective iron grille work surrounding each glass panel. The combination of oxidized copper, soft frosted glass, and handcrafted ironwork gives the piece a timeless architectural presence. Originally intended for exterior use on an estate, garden structure, veranda, or institutional building, the lantern now serves equally well as a striking interior statement fixture. Its authentic surface and handcrafted construction make it a compelling example of early architectural lighting. Professionally wired and ready for installation. FOUND IN CHICAGO. H: 30" W: 15" D: 15" 4ft drop. Show more
