About the Item

A charming antique Italian lantern, a cast bronze cage hall lantern with extraordinary original mercury gilding dating back to the third quarter of 19th century. Italian origin, born for gas burning, realized around 1870 with great casting, richly chiseled with Rocaille style scrolling foliate motif and floral rose finial. This lovely lantern features four shaped frosted glasses decorated with ornamental lambrequin motifs and ruby red and ocher yellow decorations. Rewired, working for Italian standard with one Edison 27 light-bulb, it is in good age related condition, showing signs of wear and use. One glass has a very minimal break in the upper right corner, see last listed picture, two glasses are antique but we guess they are not the original ones, one has been hand painted in imitation of the originals, while another is a little bit matt. The four glasses are however consistent and these minimal differences are visible only to a professional expert eye. This artwork is shipped from Italy. Under existing legislation, any artwork in Italy created over 70 years ago requires a governative license for export called Belle Arti. The shipping may require additional 2-3 handling weeks to require and get the license according to the final destination of the artwork. Measures: Height 87 cm without chain- lantern structure only. Width 45cm Depth 45 cm.
