A pair of modern mid-century brass lanterns with beveled glass, originating from France, in good used condition with minor signs of age, functional and measuring 50 cm high by 16 cm wide and 16 cm deep.
Description from the seller
It’s a pair of mid‑century modern-design lanterns, with that characteristic blend of clean geometry and warm glow that defined a good part of decorative lighting of the era. The structure in golden brass provides an elegant, almost architectural radiance that frames the shapes without making them feel heavy. The metal, worked with straight lines and precise joints, conveys solidity and a touch of sophistication that fits both classic interiors and more contemporary settings.
The beveled crystals are perhaps the detail that gives them the most personality: they multiply the light, create reflections, and add visual depth, as if each lantern were a small luminous box suspended in the air. That beveling, so typical of mid-century design, introduces a game of transparencies and flashes that turns lighting into a decorative element in itself.
As a pair, they work wonderfully: they balance a space, create symmetry, and add presence without dominating. They are pieces that speak of quality, of design meant to last, and of a taste for light understood as atmosphere.
Insured shipping and careful packaging.
