FAQs

Hanging lanterns gained prominence in large entrance halls and vestibules during the Georgian and Victorian periods, originally designed to hold candles before transitioning to gas and electricity. They served both a practical purpose for illumination and a status symbol for welcoming guests at the entrance of a home.

Traditional lanterns typically feature a cast or spun brass, bronze, or gilt metal frame fitted with bevelled or flat glass panes. The structural components are often joined via brazing or mechanical fixings, with decorative cast brass mounts, acanthus leaves, and finials soldered or screwed into place.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the weight of the metal, the presence of hand-bevelling in the glass panels, and the method of construction such as slot-and-pin joints or aged hand-cut screws. Natural oxidation, patina on the brass, and historical wiring methods or conversions also provide clear indicators of age.

An antique brass lantern creates an immediate focal point when suspended in high-ceilinged spaces such as entrance hallways, stairwells, or above a central hallway table. Pairing it with contemporary neutral walls and minimalist architecture allows the metallic finish and historical form to stand out.

Gilded surfaces require delicate maintenance using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust without wearing away the gold leaf or applied finish. Glass panels can be cleaned with a mild glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the fixture to protect the surrounding metalwork.
