Description from the seller

Suspended Lantern in Bronze Patina imperial style with Glass - Early 1900s.

Ancient hanging lantern, dating from the early years of the 20th century. The piece is made with a patinated bronze framework, showing a beautiful patina of time and natural oxidation marks that authenticate its antiquity.
The design, inspired by the Empire style, is characterized by elegant, sinuous lines, with decorative bronze casting details recalling classical motifs. The hexagonal structure features six panels of transparent glass, allowing a glimpse of the inner socket. The lamp holders are candelabrum-shaped.

The lantern is complete with the original chain and bronze rosette, also with an antique patina, for mounting to the ceiling.
The original electrical system is present, but given the object's age, a revision or complete remake is recommended for safe use and compliance with current regulations.

The object is in original antique condition. The bronze shows a natural patina and oxidation. The glass is intact, with no evident cracks. The electrical installation is of antique origin and needs to be checked/reworked. Please study the photographs carefully to assess the overall condition.

Height about 90 cm including the chain.
The lamp measures about 50 cm.

Original glass panes.
