Hexagonal brass lanterns from the early twentieth century are characterised by a six-sided glass enclosure framed by cast or fabricated brass, often incorporating revival styles such as Georgian or Edwardian. These designs feature central candle-style clusters or single bulb fittings, topped with decorative hanging loops or scrollwork.

Traditional construction involved cast brass components, rolled sheet brass framing, and individual clear glass panes held in place by metal tabs or putty. The top crowns were frequently hand-bent scrollwork, with the brass polished or left lacquered to protect against rapid tarnishing.

Authentic period examples exhibit natural oxidisation in unpolished recesses, hand-assembled joints, and moderate weight consistent with solid cast brass rather than stamped modern alloys. Look for evidence of early electrical conversions, such as original threaded rod paths or aged cloth wiring channels.

A pair of brass lanterns can be suspended above a long kitchen island or positioned in a double-height entrance hall to create balance. Their geometric lines complement modern minimalist schemes, while the warm metallic finish introduces historic texture.

Dust the brass frames regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that strip historic patina. Clean the glass panes with a mild glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth to prevent liquid from running into the metal joints.
