About the Item

The Lantern pictured in this listing is Lantern #26 Details for This Lantern (Lantern #26): • color is dark green w/ yellow panes • cast aluminum and plexiglass • weighs approximately 22 lbs • is a hanging lantern and casts its light outward • opens from the top to access the inside • includes a metal suspension rod Measurements for This Lantern (Lantern #26): Lantern Diameter = 19 inches Lantern Height = 36 inches Palatial lanterns, like the one in this listing, were first made in the 1880s in France. The lantern design is from model #77 from the Val d’Osne foundry. However, from 1910 to 1940, many of the larger cities in Europe began to electrify in order to lessen the threat of fire and other hazards caused by lanterns using gas. In fact, the last remaining gas lanterns are from 1960. The lanterns were initially fabricated with glass panes, but the glass became too fragile for the cities in France, and years ago the glass was replaced by plexiglass. My master restorer in Monaco has replaced all the original plexiglass panes with new plexiglass so that the color and transparency are consistent. The crown with 5 towers at the top of the lantern symbolizes the old fortifications of Paris. This motif is still found on the coat of arms for the city of Paris. The lanterns were originally gilt at the top, and at some point in their history, the gilt areas were painted over. As my restorer worked on each lantern, he found traces of gilt areas. However, it was not enough to be able to restore.
