This pair of wrought-iron Neo-Gothic hanging lanterns dates from 1850–1900.
Description from the seller
Pair of neo-Gothic wrought-iron lanterns dating from the 19th century, pieces of notable ornamental character that evoke the romantic and medievalizing aesthetics highly valued during this period. Their structure is entirely made of forged iron, hand-worked with delicate volutes, scrolls, and decorative interlacings that create a light, elegant silhouette, combining functionality with sculptural richness.
Each lantern features a truncated-pyramidal body with textured translucent glass panels, protected by fine motifs of curved iron that recall stylized Gothic tracery. The composition is enriched with broad wrought-iron developments on the top and bottom, forming a succession of spirals and curves with strong visual dynamism. They also retain their suspension chains and original anchor rosettes, elements that contribute to reinforcing their authenticity and decorative appeal.
The dark patina of the iron, acquired over time, enhances the expressiveness of the artisanal forge and provides an architectural presence especially interesting for historic interiors, porches, lobbies, or decoration projects with eclectic, Gothic, or historicist inspiration.
They are in good overall conservation condition, with wear and light signs of use consistent with their age. One of the lanterns is missing one of its glass panels, a circumstance easily remedied and that does not diminish the historical and decorative interest of the ensemble. A pair of great charm, representative of 19th-century wrought-iron artisanal production and capable of imparting personality and authenticity to any space.
Certified shipping and careful packaging.
