This fine French lantern from the last quarter of the 19th century radiates elegant opulence, crafted in gilt bronze with a four-light interior. The barrel-form body is adorned with a canopy of gilded drops, while chain swags punctuated by finely molded tassels add dynamic movement and decorative richness.

Topped with decorative finials and now wired for U.S. current, this lantern is a glowing example of French decorative lighting, blending refined proportions, classical ornamentation, and warm gilded luster—ideal for entryways or interiors seeking a statement piece of antique French craftsmanship.
