Brass hexagonal hallway lantern in good used condition dating to 1950–1960, 44 cm high, 21 cm wide and deep, origin France, and in working order.
Description from the seller
It's an entryway lantern that nicely represents the elegant and functional aesthetic of the mid-20th century, when interiors sought bright, clean pieces with a touch of classic distinction. Its structure, entirely made of golden brass, shows a warm, uniform shine, with that polished finish that characterizes quality lanterns intended for foyers and hallways.
The hexagonal shape gives it balance and architectural presence: six perfectly defined faces, framed by metal profiles that reinforce the geometry and provide visual rhythm. Each of those sides is closed by beveled crystals, a detail that multiplies the light and creates subtle reflections, elevating the piece from a simple luminaire to a decorative object. The bevel, moreover, softens the edges and adds depth, a nod to traditional lanterns reinterpreted in a modern key.
The top, with its arms and brass joints, supports the lantern’s body with discreet elegance, while the interior—visible through the crystal’s transparency—maintains the classic aesthetic of entry lamps, designed to offer a bright and orderly welcome.
Overall, it is a decorative lantern, solid, well-proportioned and with that timeless charm that blends the classical with the modern. Perfect for a foyer that seeks character without shouting.
Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
