About the Item
A palatial and monumental antique French Louis XVI multi-light gilt bronze lantern. The lantern is constructed in a cylindrical form with four large curved glass panels contained within a gilt bronze framework. The frame is decorated with applied swags of beaded garlands and tassels, each suspended from ribbon-tied bows and acorn finials mounted at the corners. At the top, four scrolling supports rise upward to connect with the suspension chain, their bases ornamented with gilt bronze pinecone finials. The lower section of the frame is finished with gilt mounts at each juncture, completing the circular enclosure.
Inside the lantern, a central six-light chandelier is suspended, with each arm scrolling outward from a fluted stem and terminating in foliate nozzles that feature circular drip pans. The candle-form electric lights are arranged evenly around the stem, creating a balanced illumination within the glass enclosure. The chandelier stem is decorated with knopped details and fluting, while the scrolling arms feature acanthus leaf ornament and curved supports.
The door of the lantern is fitted with a hinged opening for access to the interior, secured by a gilt bronze handle modeled as a bud-form mount. The bronze mounts retain a rich gilded surface throughout, contrasting with the clear glass panes that enclose the structure. The combination of the monumental scale, gilt bronze mounts, ribbon and tassel ornament, and multi-light interior places this lantern firmly within the Louis XVI style of French decorative lighting.
