AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Description of the wall-mounted lantern sconce

This wall lantern is a decor piece with a strong presence, combining traditional craftsmanship and historical symbolism.

Its structure is finished in aged brass, giving it that warm, noble tone so characteristic of antique lighting.

The lantern body features a hexagonal design with transparent glass panels that allow the interior bulb to be seen, today rewired to operate with total safety and efficiency in modern installations.

At the apex stands a meticulously worked eagle figure, wings extended in a majestic stance. This ornamental detail not only beautifies the piece, but also reflects the 19th-century taste for heraldic and patriotic motifs.

The ensemble is completed by a vertical arm and a circular base that allow mounting it to the wall, preserving the original aesthetic of period wall sconces.

Its combination of elegance, symbolism and preservation makes it a highly sought-after item among collectors of historical lighting and lovers of classic design.

Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
