Dating to circa 1900, this set of six French cast iron wall lanterns are quite large, measuring 41 inches tall and over 15 inches wide, with a protrusion of over 20 inches. The impressive lanterns have hexagonal main bodies, with each vertex being adorned by twisted iron that terminates in flowing scrolls. At the top of each lantern is a finial comprised of tightly grouped scrolls, providing a unique visual aesthetic. A beaded pricket extends from the bottom of the main body, running in front of the stylized and elongated fleur de lys attaching plate with a volute at the base. Multiple C-scrolls embellish the pricket and the slender rod that joins the two vertical members, adding to the movement seen on the main bodies. Some losses to the green finish have led to oxidation, leading to a fabulous patina that cannot be duplicated.  Examples for placement of our set of six wall lanterns include flanking the doors of a multi-car garage or lining the wall that leads to a wine cellar.

The lanterns do not have glass plates and are not electrified for use in American homes. As there are multiple options for both cases, we left them as is to allow for complete customization when installed at a house.

CONDITION: Good antique condition. Commensurate paint losses have led to some oxidation. The lanterns are not electrified and do not have glass panes. Minor buildup and some slight indentations.
