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

Nineteenth-century street lanterns were developed during the expansion of municipal gas lighting in urban areas. Constructed primarily from copper due to its corrosion-resistant properties, these fixtures were designed to withstand harsh outdoor elements while housing gas burners or early incandescent bulbs.

Traditional street lanterns were constructed using sheet copper, cast iron, and leaded metal framing. The glazing panels were made from individual panes of clear glass secured with metal tabs or putty to facilitate easy replacement.

Authentic period lanterns feature hand-riveted seam joints, folded copper construction, and natural verdigris oxidisation acquired through long-term exposure to the elements. They often exhibit a post-mounting socket at the base and a decorative ventilation cap designed for gas escape.

Antique street lanterns can be rewired for modern low-voltage outdoor electrical systems and mounted on brick pillars, stone walls, or timber posts. They serve as focal points in garden entryways, driveways, or courtyard spaces.

To preserve the original verdigris patina, avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes. The surface can be gently wiped with a soft cloth to remove debris, and the glass panels cleared using a non-ammonia glass cleaner.
