Lantern Lanterns For Sale on 1stDibs
Find a variety of lantern lanterns available on 1stDibs. Frequently made of metal, glass and brass, all lantern lanterns available were constructed with great care. There are 8308 antique and vintage lantern lanterns for sale at 1stDibs, while we also have 319 modern editions to choose from as well. Lantern lanterns have been produced for many years, with earlier versions available from the 18th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 21st Century. Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco and Victorian lantern lanterns are consistently popular styles. There have been many well-made lantern lanterns over the years, but those made by Ercole Barovier, Britt Jewett and Glashütte Limburg are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
How Much are Lantern Lanterns?
Lantern lanterns can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $2,489, while the lowest priced sells for $1 and the highest can go for as much as $390,000.
Finding the Right Lighting for You
The right table lamp, outwardly sculptural chandelier or understated wall pendant can work wonders for your home. While we’re indebted to thinkers like Thomas Edison for critically important advancements in lighting and electricity, we’re still finding new ways to customize illumination to fit our personal spaces all these years later. A wide range of antique and vintage lighting can be found on 1stDibs.
Today, lighting designers like the self-taught Bec Brittain have used the flexible structure of LEDs to craft glamorous solutions by working with what is typically considered a harsh lighting source. By integrating glass and mirrors, reflection can be used to soften the glow from LEDs and warmly welcome light into any space.
Although contemporary innovators continue to impress, some of the classics can’t be beat.
Just as gazing at the stars allows you to glimpse the universe’s past, vintage chandeliers like those designed by Gino Sarfatti and J. & L. Lobmeyr, for example, put on a similarly stunning show, each with a rich story to tell.
As dazzling as it is, the Arco lamp, on the other hand, prioritizes functionality — it’s wholly mobile, no drilling required. Designed in 1962 by architect-product designers Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the piece takes the traditional form of a streetlamp and creates an elegant, arching floor fixture for at-home use.
There is no shortage of modernist lighting similarly prized by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike — there are Art Deco table lamps created in a universally appreciated style, the Tripod floor lamp by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greta Magnusson Grossman's sleek and minimalist Grasshopper lamps and, of course, the wealth of mid-century experimental lighting that emerged from Italian artisans at Arredoluce, FLOS and many more are hallmarks in illumination innovation.
With decades of design evolution behind it, home lighting is no longer just practical. Crystalline shaping by designers like Gabriel Scott turns every lighting apparatus into a luxury accessory. A new installation doesn’t merely showcase a space; carefully chosen ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can create a mood, spotlight a favorite piece or highlight your unique personality.
The sparkle that your space has been missing is waiting for you amid the growing collection of antique, vintage and contemporary lighting for sale on 1stDibs.
Questions About Lantern Lanterns
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
A lantern is a portable lighting device.
- What is a pagoda lantern?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A pagoda lantern is a type of Japanese lantern that looks like a light basket or a light tower. It is a traditional lantern and is generally made of stone, wood, or metal. This type of lantern was used in Buddhist temples to line and illuminate paths. Shop a range of antique and vintage pagoda lanterns on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Japanese lanterns are often made of paper or silk, with a bamboo wood frame. Traditionally a candle supplied the light, but many of them today are either battery or solar operated. Shop a collection of Japanese lanterns from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2024The difference between a lamp and a lantern is that a floor lamp or a table lamp is a generally stationary fixture, whereas lanterns are portable. Lanterns are typically designed with hooks or hoops on top, to allow them to be carried or hung, and today's lanterns' window panes are usually made of glass or plastic.
It's worth pointing out that exceptions to this “portable versus stationary” rule can be found in lanterns that are intentionally designed as permanent lighting fixtures for a space, whether it's to serve as patio lighting outdoors or to illuminate a living room.
There are many types of lighting to consider for your home, and since the days that saw lanterns powered by whale oil, kerosene and later, coal oil, lighting artisans have worked to refine and perfect these innovative fixtures so that they aren’t only practical but also elegant, sophisticated additions to home decor.
Find antique and vintage lamps and other lighting on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A cherished part of Japanese culture, Japanese lanterns symbolize love, brightness and most important of all - protection from evil. Find a collection of expertly vetted Japanese lanterns from some of the world’s top reputable boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A pumpkin lantern is called a jack-o'-lantern. The tradition of carving pumpkins and other vegetables and using them to hold candles dates back to the 19th century when the Irish and Scottish began making the decorations around Halloween to ward off evil spirits. Find a range of antique and vintage lanterns on 1stDibs.
- Can lanterns be used outdoors?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not lanterns can be used outdoors depends on the piece. Ones crafted out of waterproof and rust-proof materials often work indoors and outdoors. Many are only suitable for display in covered outdoor or indoor areas. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage and antique lanterns.
- How much are old lanterns worth?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Old lanterns are worth $50 to several hundred dollars, on average. The most valuable, which can fetch thousands of dollars, are fixed globe or presentation lanterns.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The various types of Japanese lanterns have different purposes and meanings.
