About the Item

A pair of American brass lantern wall sconces from the early 20th century, with eagle motifs, hexagonal bodies and black accents. This exquisite pair of American brass lantern wall sconces from the early 20th century exudes timeless elegance and patriotic charm. Each sconce features a hexagonal glass body that encases a central light surrounded by glass panels, providing a warm and inviting glow. The lanterns are crowned with two tiers of canopies adorned with delicate swag friezes, culminating in a majestic eagle with wings spread wide, symbolizing freedom and strength. The brass lanterns are securely mounted to black iron backplates via beams accented with graceful S-scroll motifs, creating a harmonious blend of materials and colors. The contrast between the golden hue of the brass and the deep black of the iron enhances the visual appeal and sophistication of these pieces. Perfect for a variety of settings, these early 20th-century American lantern wall sconces can be used to enhance the ambiance of a hallway, entryway, or living room. Their elegant silhouettes and intricate details make them ideal focal points, whether flanking a doorway, fireplace, or mounted on either side of a mirror. The combination of historical charm and refined craftsmanship ensures these sconces will bring a stylish and distinguished presence to any home, adding a touch of vintage elegance and patriotic flair to your interior décor.

Pair of English Country House Brass Wall Lanterns with Glass Doors, circa 1900
Located in Atlanta, GA
A charming pair of English wall lanterns, crafted around 1900, with a timeless presence that fits seamlessly into both classic and transitional interiors. Each lantern is made from brass with a dark patinated finish that evokes the subtle grandeur of the English Country House tradition. The design features a pitched roof, a turned finial, and a glass-fronted door that opens to reveal a single light. The cream-toned interior reflects the light beautifully while maintaining a soft, diffused glow. Recently rewired for use in the United States, the fixtures are ready for immediate installation. The scale is modest and well-suited for flanking a fireplace, lighting a hallway, or framing a doorway—indoors or out, provided they are placed in a covered area. Their restrained form and historic finish lend authenticity and warmth to both traditional and contemporary spaces. A handsome and practical pair for those drawn to the understated elegance of antique English lighting.
