Tall French Wrought Iron Lantern with Glass Panels and Scroll Detailing - 1900s

About the Item

This large French iron lantern from circa 1900 showcases a graceful architectural form crafted from riveted iron with original patinated finish and clear glass panels on all sides. The openwork silhouette features scalloped arches and elegant scrollwork at the crown, adding a touch of French decorative charm while maintaining a restrained, linear structure. Inside, four candle-style lights are mounted on a central scrolled support, offering a warm and balanced glow ideal for entryways, stair halls, or covered garden spaces. The lantern's geometric lines and honest materiality make it equally suited to traditional, rustic, or transitional interiors, while the transparency of the glass allows it to illuminate evenly without visual heaviness. It has been recently rewired for use in the United States. Measuring just over 42 inches in height, this piece offers a strong vertical presence without overwhelming a space. Its combination of clean form, old-world craftsmanship, and practical scale makes it a highly adaptable lighting feature with timeless appeal.
