Description

Victorian lantern in copper with a green painted finish. This lantern was probably originally gas and has since been converted to electric. The door is still working and retains its original slide catch. The top has a pagoda-style roof with vents to allow hot air to escape. At present the cable exits from the top, although this could be altered to exit from the bottom if required. The lantern is earthed and ready to use. It comes with an Edison screw E 27 bulb holder and stands on a cast iron base designed to be bolted down outdoors.

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.

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

Victorian gas lanterns were outdoor or street lighting fixtures popularised in the nineteenth century, designed to house coal-gas burners. They typically featured sheet copper or cast iron frames, glass panes for wind protection, and top cowls engineered for ventilation.

Lanterns of this era were primarily fabricated from copper, brass, and wrought or cast iron due to their resistance to weather. Copper was especially favoured for exterior use because it forms a protective verdigris or dark patination over time.

Authentic pieces display evidence of original gas fittings, such as internal supply pipes or tap valves, alongside hand-riveted copper construction. Modern conversions often feature drilled cable access points and retrofitted electric bulb sockets.

A period copper lantern can be mounted beside a front doorway, positioned on gate piers, or displayed on a low garden wall to provide directional focus. The naturally patinated metal complements exposed brickwork, stone facades, and rendered masonry.

Maintain the surface by removing loose debris with a soft bristle brush and wiping glass panels with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical polishes or abrasive scrubbers, which strip away historical surface oxidisation and natural patina.
