French Brass and Glass Lantern Chandelier with Decorative Filigree, circa 1940

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
An exquisite French brass lantern chandelier from the 1940s, featuring a graceful and airy design that embodies both neoclassical and Art Deco influences. The delicately curved brass frame showcases elegant scrollwork, lending the piece a refined architectural presence. Encased in clear cylindrical glass panels, the lantern’s structure allows an unobstructed view of the two-light candelabra, designed with faux candle sleeves to mimic the warm glow of traditional wax candles.

A standout detail of this lantern is its finely detailed filigree trim, which adorns both the upper and lower edges of the frame, adding a subtle yet intricate decorative element. The brass has developed a beautiful patina over time, enhancing its vintage charm and historical character. Suspended from a sturdy brass chain, the fixture is both visually striking and highly functional, casting a soft, inviting glow when illuminated.

This lantern is a versatile addition to any space, whether as an entryway statement, a charming accent in a hallway, or a sophisticated lighting solution for a dining area or bedroom. Its timeless design allows it to seamlessly complement both classic and contemporary interiors, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate antique craftsmanship with enduring elegance.
