How Much is a Baroque Style Lantern?
Finding the Right lanterns for You
Whether you’re in search of a functional fixture to help illuminate a room or just a minimalist ornamental touch, the choice of lighting is important. Selecting the perfect vintage, new or antique lanterns can transform an otherwise monotonous space in your home.
In the 1700s, lanterns became widely popular when accessibility broadened for whale oil, as fuel for lamps was one of its earliest uses. Lantern design evolved considerably during the mid- to late 19th century, when a powerful, adaptable fuel came into play: kerosene. Portable and immediately sought after, kerosene lamps were traditionally surrounded by a glass globe or tube that sat on a metal frame to protect the flame from spreading or extinguishing. (While reproductions abound, antique kerosene lanterns have since become collector's items.)
Later, in 1862, John H. Irwin created coil oil lamps, which were designed for coal oils as well as kerosene and lessened the risk of fire. They required plentiful oxygen to remain lit, and with refinements, the lamps could be used indoors. Lanterns increasingly came to be part of commercial spaces such as museums and theaters, and over time, lighting artisans worked to refine and perfect these innovative fixtures so that they weren’t only practical but also elegant, sophisticated additions to home decor.
Antiques inject a touch of classical chic into any space. With the right lantern, you could also deepen the impact of the collection of vases and vessels, sculptures or other decorative objects in a living room or dining room. It’s essential to find a balance between utility and aesthetics when choosing the perfect vintage–style lantern for your space, and the right lighting decisions can determine the underlying mood of a room as well as enhance the choices you’ve made for your home’s decor. While old-time charm is something to be cherished, there is lots to love in modern lanterns from today’s top furniture designers.
On 1stDibs, search by creator to find lanterns crafted by the likes of Woka Lamps, Barovier & Toso and Material Lust or browse the collection by style. From today’s standouts to mid-century modern classics to Art Deco–era innovations, find the best vintage, new or antique lantern for you now.
- What is Baroque style furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2019
Baroque style furniture is dramatic, extravagant and detailed and was heavily influenced by the Catholic Church in Italy, where the movement was born in the late 17th century. Baroque was specifically for the wealthy and noble classes and made use of rich and lavish materials including gilded bronze, velvet and silk. Because Baroque style was very heavy and dramatic, typical Baroque color schemes were mostly jewel tones, red and gold.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The Italian Baroque style is a style of architecture, art and design that is highly ornamental and tends to show off dramatic, grand lines. It emerged during the late 16th century and remained popular into the early 18th century. Shop a collection of Italian Baroque furniture, art and decorative objects on 1stDibs.

The Rococo style was different from Baroque in that Rococo was more playful, whimsical and light, and Baroque was heavy-handed, provocative and extravagant. Rococo originated between the 1730s and 1760s in France, and Baroque first appeared in the early 18th century in Italy and lasted until the beginning of the 19th.
