19th Century Gilt Bronze Antique Hall Lantern

19th Century Gilt Bronze Antique Hall Lantern A handsome 19th-century gilt bronze hall lantern, of impressive size and richly decorative design. This elegant antique lantern features a beautifully cast gilt bronze framework surrounding four textured glass panels, with the warm, aged gilding providing a striking contrast to the softly translucent glass. The lantern has an ornate architectural form, with scrolling bronze supports, floral and foliate decoration, swagged garlands, decorative urn finials and an elaborate pierced crown. The tapering body culminates in a decorative pendant finial, giving the lantern an especially elegant silhouette. The combination of gilt bronze, decorative casting and textured glass makes this a particularly eye-catching piece of antique lighting. Its generous proportions make it well suited to a substantial entrance hall, staircase, reception room, dining room or period interior, while its refined classical decoration would also work effectively in a more contemporary setting. Large 19th-century gilt bronze hall lanterns are prized for their decorative presence as well as their craftsmanship, with ornate scrolling frameworks and foliate ornament being characteristic features of antique examples.  Key Features • 19th-century antique hall lantern • Gilt bronze construction • Impressive, generously proportioned size • Four textured / frosted glass panels • Elaborately cast scrolling bronze framework • Decorative floral and foliate ornament • Draped floral swag decoration • Ornate upper corona with scrolling supports • Decorative urn and finial details • Large central pendant finial • Attractive aged gilt finish • Particularly suitable for a period entrance hall, staircase, dining room or reception room • An elegant statement piece of antique lighting Dimensions Height: 101cm / 39 3/4in Diameter: 43cm / 17in Dimensions exclude any additional hanging chain or ceiling fitting, if applicable. “There is scarcely anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little more cheaply.
