{"product_id":"antique-french-bronze-and-brass-hexagonal-30930","title":"Antique French Bronze and Brass Hexagonal Hall Lantern, Glazed Ceiling Light — France, Early 20th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe hall lantern occupies a particular place in the French domestic tradition — the fixture that greets a visitor before any other, hung in the entryway or stairwell where a single strong light source, protected from drafts by glass, was both practical and a statement of the household's standing. Unlike a chandelier, meant to be seen from below across a room, the lantern was built to be seen from several angles as one moved through a hall or up a stair, and its glazed sides existed as much to be looked into as to be looked through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lantern is French, early twentieth century, in bronze and brass, built as a hexagonal glazed form suspended on a chain. The body is a six-sided glass-paned cage, each panel held within a slender brass frame, tapering inward toward the base and rising at the crown to a scrolling brass cresting — hook-form volutes that curl outward at each corner of the hexagon, the decorative flourish that turns a functional cage into something with genuine presence. Within, the fixture holds multiple candle-style light sources, their form continuing the lantern's implied history as a candle fixture even in its electrified state. The chain and canopy at the top are original to the piece, patinated to match the bronze and brass body below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lantern has come through in good order — the glass panels intact, the brass and bronze frame sound, the scrolled cresting present at all corners. It arrives fully rewired and ready to use, hung from its original chain — ready for a stairwell, an entrance hall, or a covered porch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt arrives professionally packed and fully insured.
