The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Victorian street lanterns were introduced during the 19th century to illuminate public thoroughfares, initially powered by town gas before transitioning to electricity in the early 20th century. Local foundries and engineers produced these fixtures using durable metals such as copper and cast iron to withstand harsh outdoor weather conditions.

These lighting fixtures were primarily constructed using sheet copper, brass components, forged iron frames, and clear glass glazing. Copper was favoured for the hood and finial due to its corrosion resistance and natural ability to develop a protective verdigris or dark patina over time.

Authentic period street lanterns often feature riveted or soldered copper seams, hand-cut glass panes, and stamped brass maker plates identifying the foundry or manufacturer. Signs of historical age include uneven oxidation on the metal surfaces and remnants of original mounting hardware.

Street lanterns can be rewired for modern electric use and installed as overhead pendant lights in hallways, foyers, or kitchen islands. Alternatively, they can be mounted on exterior brickwork beside entryways or used as floor-standing decorative elements in porch spaces.

Glass panels should be cleaned with a soft cloth and a diluted vinegar-and-water solution to avoid stripping patination from adjacent metalwork. The copper hood should be dusted gently and left unpolished to preserve its historic surface oxidisation, though a microcrystalline wax can be applied to protect against further corrosion.
