Victorian Gilt Bronze & Opaline Glass Pendant Lantern by Perry & Co

19th century
Description

A superb Victorian hanging pendant lantern by renowned 19th century makers Perry & Co. The beautifully made lantern has a cast gilt bronze crown which features acanthus leaves, scrolls and scroll leaf design, floral rosettes and ovolo moulding. The collar has a finely pierced floral design which is further highlighted once illuminated. The ovoid shaped opaline glass is encased by bronze gilt lions heads carrying rings in their mouths, bell flowers and acanthus leaves.

The reverse of the castings are stamped PERRY several times along with serial numbers.

The light hangs on an adjustable 30 chain, and comes with a ceiling rose.

The bronze gilt retains its original finish and there are no chips to the glass. The lantern has been rewired and is in working order.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

A Victorian opaline pendant lantern typically features semi-translucent, milky glass paired with ornate cast metal fittings, such as gilt bronze or brass, suspended from a ceiling chain.

Lanterns from this era were primarily constructed using mercury-gilded bronze (ormolu), cast brass, and hand-blown or pressed opaline glass.

Authentic period pieces exhibit heavy cast bronze or brass, hand-finished detailing, natural patination or surface oxidisation, and characteristic period motifs such as acanthus leaves and masks.

These fixtures can be hung in a high-ceilinged entry hallway, above a kitchen island, or in a formal dining space to introduce architectural detail and contrast.

Dust gilt bronze gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush to prevent stripping the gilded layer, and wipe the opaline glass shade using a damp microfibre cloth without harsh chemicals.
