An antique wrought-iron lantern from 1940–1950, made in France, with a vertical twisted-bar frame, a small pyramidal roof, decorative base scrolls, original patina, no modern wiring, and measuring 58 × 26 × 26 cm.
Description from the seller
It is an artisanal wrought-iron lantern from the mid-20th century, made of solid iron worked by hand. It features a vertical structure defined by twisted bars and topped with a small pyramidal cap, typical of traditional Spanish blacksmithing of the era. At the base it incorporates scrolling motifs and decorative volutes, executed with hammer and anvil, which impart movement and a classic feel without slipping into ornamental excess.
The lantern retains its original patina, with the wear of time that enhances its authenticity and its antique character. It does not have modern wiring, although its interior allows for a discreet electrical adaptation if desired, preserving the piece's integrity. The forged top handle facilitates its placement as a hanging lantern in courtyards, porches, or interiors with rustic or historic aesthetics.
It is a good example of mid‑20th‑century traditional forging: solid, decorative, and functional, with that balance between structural simplicity and artisanal details that today is highly regarded by collectors and enthusiasts of decorating with antique pieces.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
