About the Item
This elegant French brass and glass bell jar lantern dates to the 19th century and embodies the restrained refinement of neoclassical lighting from the period. The fixture features a gracefully curved, hand-blown glass dome suspended from a finely cast gilt brass frame with delicate beaded and foliate detailing along the rim. Inside, a three-light candle-style candelabra rises from a turned central stem, balancing ornamentation with architectural simplicity.
Originally designed for entryways and grand stair halls, lanterns of this type were prized in both urban hôtels particuliers and provincial manors for their clarity and proportion. The hand-blown glass shade—slightly wavy and subtly irregular—reflects the artisanal process and catches light with gentle distortion. The brass structure has developed a mellow golden patina over time, complemented by original neoclassical finials and ribbed fittings.
This piece has been rewired for modern use and comes with its brass canopy and hanging chain. Its timeless design allows it to integrate seamlessly into both period interiors and more contemporary spaces seeking a touch of classical French character.
