Portuguese Brass Lantern in Gilded Finish, c.1950
About the Item
This is a beautiful Portuguese brass lantern, dating from around 1950. The lantern has an elegant four-sided (quadrilateral) shape, with slightly tapered panels that give it a refined and classical appearance. The frame is made of polished brass, which maintains a rich golden tone, adding warmth and sophistication to the piece. Each of the four panels is filled with textured, translucent glass that softly diffuses the light, creating an atmospheric glow when illuminated. The top features a rounded brass cap with a small decorative finial and a chain for hanging. At the corners and edges, small ornamental details enrich the design, showcasing careful craftsmanship. This type of lantern was often used outdoors — in gardens, courtyards, or at entryways — but its timeless design also makes it suitable for elegant interior spaces. Combining function and art, this piece reflects the Portuguese tradition of fine metal and glasswork, offering a historical charm and aesthetic value that enhance any environment.
