Steel and Bronze Hanging Lantern with Opaque Glass Circa 1920

This handsome early 20th-century architectural lantern features a hand-fabricated steel frame accented with bronze detailing and fitted with opaque glass panels that cast a warm, diffused glow. The lantern’s restrained geometric form and arched detailing place it comfortably in the transitional period between Arts & Crafts and early classical revival design, making it highly versatile for both traditional and modern interiors.

Suspended by a chain and retaining a rich, aged patina throughout, the lantern offers substantial presence without ornamentation overpowering its architectural clarity. Originally intended for use in an entry hall, vestibule, or stairwell, it would be equally at home in a foyer, kitchen, or covered outdoor space.

A timeless and sophisticated lighting piece that adds depth, character, and architectural gravitas to any setting.
