Antique Dutch Copper Lantern – 17th/18th Century – Arts & Crafts Style

About the Item

Antique Dutch Copper Lantern – 17th/18th Century – Arts & Crafts Style A rare and characterful large hanging lantern from the Netherlands, likely crafted in the late 17th or early 18th century. Made entirely of copper, this striking piece showcases skilled craftsmanship and a rich historical patina. The cylindrical form, adorned with hand-hammered decorative details and a pierced domed top, reflects early Arts & Crafts aesthetics with subtle Baroque influences. Originally designed for candle or oil lighting, the lantern was later converted to electricity. The wiring and socket fittings are visible but tastefully integrated, maintaining the authenticity of the piece. There is no glass present — the open-frame design allows for a warm and atmospheric light diffusion. Both the upper and lower bands feature finely engraved ornamentation, and the lantern is suspended by a robust, hand-forged copper chain. A unique and eye-catching piece, perfect for historic interiors, entryways, stairwells, or over a dining table.
