About the Item
Original Antique Arts and Crafts Brass Lantern Circa 1900
A rare and authentic Arts and Crafts period brass lantern, dating from circa 1900. Beautifully hand-crafted in solid brass, this lantern reflects the honest craftsmanship and design integrity central to the Arts and Crafts movement.
The piece features a vented domed roof, decorative strap hinges, and intricate side panels with cut-out motifs resembling inverted hearts—an organic, almost medieval aesthetic that was popular within the movement. Mottled glass panes soften and diffuse the light, creating a warm, textured glow. A hinged door with its original clasp allows access, and a glass panel in the base suggests it may have originally accommodated a downward light or an extended fixture component.
The Arts and Crafts movement emerged in Britain in the late 19th century as a reaction against the mechanized production of the Industrial Revolution. Led by figures such as William Morris and John Ruskin, the movement emphasized traditional craftsmanship, simple forms, and the use of natural materials. It celebrated the beauty of utility, often incorporating medieval, folk, or nature-inspired motifs.
Lighting from this period was typically hand-forged or hand-assembled, often by individual makers or small workshops, with an emphasis on durable construction and timeless beauty. This lantern embodies those ideals—functional, well-proportioned, and expressive of its materials.
Whether used indoors or in a covered outdoor setting, this lantern makes a striking period feature and a lasting testament to the design philosophy of the Arts and Crafts era.
