Antique Brass Hanging Lantern from 19th Century France
About the Item
This Louis XVI hexagonal lantern is made of brass and features one door and one internal light. The French antique piece dates back to the 19th century, and is decorated with a knob at each corner of the top. Smaller knobs rest below at each corner of the bottom, mirroring their partners above. This lantern was originally made for gas, seen most notably by the gas key below the singular light used to turn the flow of gas on and off. It has since been converted to electricity.
Each piece in our shop is professionally rewired and in working order. Each chandelier comes with a vintage canopy, three feet of chain, and ample wire, and all materials needed to mount. Each piece is newly wired with UL approved wire and sockets and is fully operable.
The piece is part of the collection from The French Antique Shop, a fourth generation antique store in the heart of the French Quarter of New Orleans. A space that was created and curated at first by Marie and Marcelle and Granet. Their first shop was located in the heart of Paris, and opened in 1919 after they migrated to Paris from Romania post World War I. Shortly after establishing themselves in Paris, as a Jewish family they were forced to flee in the late 1930s before World War II. Marie and Marcel opened up their shop in New Orleans in 1939, the city in which this antique collection has grown and continues to flourish. The store is now run by the third and fourth generation, Marc, Michael, and Brian Friedlander, and is a highly curated space filled with rare antiquities, fine antique lighting, eclectic fixtures, and everything in between. We have imported all the antique items in our collection directly from France.
