About the Item

Late 19th century french Neoclassical gilt bronze and glass very important large pending lantern By: unknown Material: metal, bronze, copper, tin, glass, crystal Technique: cast, molded, polished, metalwork, gilt, frosted Dimensions: 39.5 in x 86.5 in Date: late 19th century Style: Neoclassical Place of origin: France Crafted in France during the late 19th century, this neoclassical gilt bronze lantern embodies the refined aesthetics of the period. The structure, semicylindrical in form, features an intricate arrangement of cast and molded metalwork, with a warm gilt finish that accentuates its ornamental details. Classical motifs, including scrolling foliage, garlands, and rosettes, are meticulously rendered, reflecting the influence of ancient Greco-Roman design. At its center, a suspended lighting chamber houses the sockets for bulbs, encased by frosted glass panels that soften the light while offering a subtle contrast to the gilded framework. The interplay of polished and textured surfaces enhances the depth and dimensionality of the piece, while its finely worked bronze elements exhibit precision in both casting and finishing. Designed to command attention, this lantern is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of 19th-century French metalwork, balancing ornamentation with structural elegance. The complete light fixture weighs approximately 440 lbs (about 200 kg).
