FAQs

French hanging lanterns gained prominence in European architecture during the 18th and 19th centuries, originally designed to illuminate vestibules, hallways, and exterior entryways with candle or oil light before transitioning to gas and electricity.

Authentic period lanterns are typically constructed from cast or folded brass, bronze, or gilded metal frameworks fitted with hand-blown curved or flat glass panels, held together with mechanical fixings such as screws and pins rather than modern welds.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the weight and composition of the metalwork, signs of genuine oxidisation or wear on the gilding, hand-blown characteristics of the glass panels, and the presence of period-appropriate wiring or mounting loops.

A classic brass or gilded lantern serves as a focal point when hung centrally in an entryway, hallway, or above a staircase landing, providing a sophisticated contrast of textures against minimalist or modern backdrops.

Gilded surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to avoid abrading the thin metallic finish, while glass panels can be cleaned using a mild, non-ammonia glass cleaner applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the fixture.
