Pair of 20th Century French Lanterns
-
Description
A striking pair of French neoclassical brass lantern chandeliers from the 1940s, exuding elegance and sophistication with their refined details and symmetrical proportions. Each lantern features a gracefully curved brass frame with intricate scrollwork at the top, complemented by delicate arrow motifs at the base—symbolic of classical influence and timeless design. The detailed craftsmanship extends to the sculptural bird-like embellishments on the arms, adding a touch of artistry and grandeur.
Encased in clear cylindrical glass panels, these lanterns allow an unobstructed view of the two-light candelabra, designed to mimic traditional wax candles with faux candle sleeves. The warm patina on the brass highlights their vintage character, enhancing the overall richness of the design. Suspended from a decorative brass chain, these chandeliers offer a perfect blend of form and function, casting a soft, ambient glow when illuminated. -
