18th Century Italian Lantern
About the Item
This exquisite 18th-century Italian lantern is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, blending elegance with intricate detailing. Handcrafted from wrought iron with gilded accents, this hanging lantern features an elongated, curvaceous frame adorned with scrolling acanthus leaves, floral motifs, and delicate decorative elements. Its finely worked metal structure exudes timeless sophistication, making it an ideal statement piece for both historic and contemporary interiors.
The hexagonal glass-paneled body encloses a single candelabra-style light, set within a gilt metal floral bobeche. The lantern’s original aged patina adds to its charm, showcasing subtle variations in color and texture that highlight its antique character. Suspended from an ornate top featuring scrolling arms and leaf embellishments, this piece evokes the grandeur of Italian aristocratic homes and palazzos of the 18th century.
Whether displayed in an entryway, hallway, or above a dining table, this lantern provides a warm, atmospheric glow and an air of old-world European luxury. A rare find, it is perfect for collectors and decorators who appreciate fine antique lighting and historic craftsmanship.
