A pair of Edwardian hanging lanterns dates from 1910 and follows an English country house style. Each pendant light has a hexagonal brass frame with clear glass panes, brass mounts, ball finials, scrollwork crowns, and internal multi-candle light sockets holding candle-shaped bulbs. The metal has a warm brass colour and a polished finish. Each lantern measures 60 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 30 cm deep. These pendant lights hang from chains connected to the ceiling. These lanterns suit hallways, stairwells, or entrance halls in a home today, providing overhead illumination. The design incorporates six-sided glazing panels, detailed corner mounts, and decorative metal scrollwork at the top of each fixture. The electrical cables run alongside the suspension chains to power the internal candle sockets.

FAQs

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.
