French Iron and Copper Lantern with Verdigris Leaves, circa 1920 - US Wired

About the Item

A charming French lantern from circa 1920, this hanging fixture features a sculptural interplay of wrought iron and verdigris-patinated copper, forming a delicately domed cage with botanical accents. The open framework is defined by arched iron ribs and squared vertical supports wrapped in hand-forged copper leaves, creating a light and airy silhouette with naturalistic character. Inside, a four-light cluster centers the composition, its candle-style sockets arranged around a cast iron finial. The patina on the copper foliage contrasts beautifully with the darker iron, offering a layered, timeworn finish that evokes the romantic sensibility of early 20th-century garden and conservatory lighting. A decorative crown tops the domed structure, and the fixture hangs from a linked iron chain with canopy included. Measuring just over 25 inches high, this lantern is well suited for entryways, stairwells, or intimate dining spaces. It pairs especially well with French country or rustic European interiors, where its scale and handcrafted detailing can be fully appreciated. It has been rewired for the USA.
