{"product_id":"vintage-pair-of-brass-tone-french-fiacre-03316","title":"Vintage Pair of Brass-Tone French Fiacre Carriage Wall Lanterns with Etched Wheat Glass Panels","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn French, a horse-drawn cab for hire is a \"fiacre\", and these lanterns are styled after the ones that hung on its sides as it rattled through the streets at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach lantern has a many-sided body with glass panels, each etched with a sprig of wheat or leaves. On top is a domed cap pierced with small cross-shaped vents and a turned finial, and below is a long tapering tube. A short side bracket fixes each lantern to the wall. The word \"fiacre\" comes from the Hôtel Saint-Fiacre in 1600s Paris, where the first cabs for hire waited for passengers outside. The name stuck to the carriages, and later to their lanterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lanterns are in good vintage condition. One glass panel is broken and another is chipped at a corner, and the old wiring reaches us as found. They have stayed together as a pair and are ready to light an entrance again. Mount them either side of a front door, in a covered porch or along a hallway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiacre pair: two brass-tone carriage-style lanterns with etched wheat glass panels and pierced caps, rewired and sold as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: H 49 cm (19.3 in) · W 17 cm (6.7 in) — each about as tall as a large watering can\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: brass-tone metal, etched glass\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: Carriage lantern style · early to mid 20th century\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping: professionally packed, fully insured, worldwide · we handle the paperwork and pay all import duties · nothing to settle on delivery\u003cbr\u003e\nElectrical: fully rewired in our workshop before dispatch · delivered working and ready to install · wall installation by a qualified electrician recommended\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: good vintage condition · one glass panel broken, one chipped at a corner\u003cbr\u003e\nLampshade: Etched glass panels fitted\u003cbr\u003e\nReturns: accepted within 30 days\u003cbr\u003e\nSold as a pair\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59733285175641,"sku":"LM-V-614","price":767.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8631520672_6odr.jpg?v=1791278954","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/vintage-pair-of-brass-tone-french-fiacre-03316","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
