How Much is a Georgian Glass 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a few tell-tale signs you can look for to determine whether your Georgian glass is real or fake. Authentic Georgian glass was created in three phases and then merged together. Look for the join at the base of the glass to the stem—this is the pontil scar or mark. Also, the foot of the glass will be wider than the bowl. Shop a collection of authentic Georgian glass from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To identify Georgian glass, look for marks indicative of the manufacturing process. Authentic Georgian glass will have an indentation on the bottom called a pontil. In addition, you should see vertical striations in the glass. You'll find a wide variety of expertly vetted Georgian glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Real Georgian glass was made during what is known as the Georgian period in the 17th and 18th centuries. The glass was made in three pieces: the base, stem and bowl. The process created several marks, which can help authenticate a piece of Georgian glass, including a pontil mark (found on the base) and vertical lines or marks around the bowl. Collectors should work with an appraiser to confirm the authenticity of Georgian glass. Find a selection of expertly vetted Georgian glass on 1stDibs.
