About the Item

This antique brass and glass hanging lantern exemplifies the robust craftsmanship and utilitarian elegance characteristic of early 20th-century maritime and industrial lighting. Its hexagonal framework, constructed from aged brass with a rich, time-worn patina, is reinforced by a protective cage-like structure, a functional necessity for lanterns exposed to the harsh conditions of seafaring vessels, docks, or industrial settings. The vented cap, adorned with a ridged collar, suggests a design intended to manage heat dispersion, a common feature in fixtures originally designed for oil or gas illumination but later adapted for electrical use. Encased within this meticulously engineered framework are thick, beveled glass panels, which not only shield the light source from the elements but also provide a striking visual interplay between transparency and the lantern’s metallic structural integrity. The intricacy of its construction, from the precision-cut joints to the seamless integration of functional and decorative elements, speaks to an era when lighting fixtures were as much about enduring utility as they were about aesthetic refinement. Suspended from a sturdy brass chain, this lantern retains its original industrial sensibilities while accommodating contemporary electrical components, making it as practical as it is historically evocative. Its presence conjures images of shipboard passageways dimly illuminated by similar fixtures, or the warm glow of lanterns swinging gently on the porches of seaside manors, bridging the divide between nautical heritage and modern interior design. Measures: 15" h x 9" w.
