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

A French half lantern is a wall-mounted lighting fixture constructed with a flat rear profile designed to sit flush against a wall surface. Originating in 18th and 19th-century France, these designs provided ambient lighting for hallways, courtyards, and entryways while minimising projection into the walkway.

Traditional French half lanterns were crafted using sheet brass, copper, and cast brass components fitted with clear glass panels. The frames often feature hand-soldered joints, pierced decorative galleries, and scrollwork supports.

Authentic period examples demonstrate signs of hand-craftsmanship, such as uneven solder lines, hand-cut glass, and natural oxidisation across the brass and copper surfaces. Original fixtures may also show evidence of conversion from candle or gas power to electrical wiring.

French half lanterns can be mounted in pairs to frame an entryway door, line a hallway corridor, or accent a chimneypiece. Their mixed-metal brass and copper finish complements painted timberwork, exposed stone, and plaster surfaces.

Maintain the metal surfaces by dusting regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive metal polishes or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can remove the natural aged patina and damage protective finishes.
