FAQs

Hanging lanterns gained popularity in European hallways and entryways during the 18th and 19th centuries, designed initially to hold candles before transitioning to gas and electricity to illuminate dark corridors and welcome guests.

Traditional lanterns are typically constructed from a combination of metals such as brass, copper, steel, or iron, paired with bevelled or flat glass panes secured by soldered joints or decorative metal pins.

Authentic pieces often exhibit signs of age such as hand-soldered joints, minor surface oxidisation on the metal, hand-blown or uneven glass panels, and period-appropriate wiring or mounting hardware.

Hanging lanterns can be suspended in a hallway, above a kitchen island, or in a high-ceilinged entryway to create a striking focal point, mixing traditional metallic finishes with modern decor for a balanced aesthetic.

Dust the fixtures regularly with a soft, dry cloth and clean the glass panes with a mild glass cleaner applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the metal, avoiding harsh chemical abrasives that can damage the finish.
