This stunning hanging hall lantern is a timeless piece of architectural lighting history. Featuring a hand-blown bell-shaped glass shade with intricate etched foliate and fan motifs, the lantern is suspended in an ornately cast openwork crown of bronze or brass. Likely crafted in the late 19th or early 20th century, it channels elements of Gothic Revival, Regency, and Victorian design.
Ideal for stairwells, entry halls, or formal vestibules, the lantern blends elegance with dramatic form. A lower finial—possibly wood or bronze—adds a finishing decorative touch to this masterfully crafted fixture.
