Lantern - Copper - Antique copper lantern

This elegant copper hanging lantern is executed in Victorian style and bears the stamped VR monogram — referring to Victoria Regina, Queen Victoria of England. The piece likely dates from the early twentieth century and was manufactured as a high-quality reproduction of an original Victorian model, as used in government buildings, post offices and public spaces in the British Empire.
The lantern is built from a copper and brass frame with bevelled glass panes, a toothed decorative trim along the top, and a twisted copper suspension element with an original ring. The warm oxidation patina gives the piece a deep authenticity that cannot be replicated.
The piece has been expertly electrified and is ready to use as a pendant light.
