Monumental Pair of American Art Deco Hanging Lanterns. Circa 1920

1900 - 1920
Description

Monumental Pair of American Art Deco Hanging Lanterns

A striking matched pair of monumental American Art Deco hanging lanterns, each rising an impressive 43 inches. Originally created for the grand entrance of a hotel or public building, these lanterns showcase the bold geometry and refined ornamentation of the era. Constructed from brass pipe sections with ornate floral panels and finished with opaline glass plates, they retain their original two way bulb holders and have been freshly re wired for modern use. A superb and highly decorative example of authentic American Art Deco lighting.

Dimensions:

Height 43”

Width 23”

Depth 23”

Details:

Age: 1930

Origin: United States

Designer: Unknown

Material: Brass and Glass

Condition: Good

Weight: 20kg each

Condition Report

Overall, these lights are in highly presentable condition, especially considering their age and years of use. As expected with original period metalwork, some areas show natural tarnishing and wear, which sits comfortably with their authenticity. The frames remain solid and secure, with no movement or structural loss. The opaline glass plates slide out smoothly, and each lantern has been recently rewired for modern use with three core flex cable.

Archival Detail
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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Art Deco lighting from the 1920s combines geometric architectural forms, modern industrial design, and subtle ornamental detailing such as filigree bands or fluted metalwork.

These fixtures commonly feature cast or extruded bronze, brass frames, and frosted or opalescent glass panels designed to diffuse illumination smoothly.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate hand-assembled metal joinery, heavy gauge copper alloys, and natural patina or surface oxidisation consistent with age.

A pair of large Art Deco lanterns creates a balanced focal point when suspended above a long kitchen island, a formal dining table, or within an expansive entrance foyer.

Clean glass panels with a soft damp cloth and dust metal components using a dry bristle brush, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that strip original patination.
