Pair of English Country House Brass Wall Lanterns with Glass Doors, circa 1900
Located in Atlanta, GA
A charming pair of English wall lanterns, crafted around 1900, with a timeless presence that fits seamlessly into both classic and transitional interiors. Each lantern is made from brass with a dark patinated finish that evokes the subtle grandeur of the English Country House tradition. The design features a pitched roof, a turned finial, and a glass-fronted door that opens to reveal a single light. The cream-toned interior reflects the light beautifully while maintaining a soft, diffused glow.
Recently rewired for use in the United States, the fixtures are ready for immediate installation. The scale is modest and well-suited for flanking a fireplace, lighting a hallway, or framing a doorway—indoors or out, provided they are placed in a covered area. Their restrained form and historic finish lend authenticity and warmth to both traditional and contemporary spaces.
A handsome and practical pair for those drawn to the understated elegance of antique English lighting.

Vintage, New and Antique Lanterns
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.
