Elegant French Brass and Glass Lantern Chandelier, circa 1940

About the Item

A refined and timeless French brass lantern chandelier from the 1940s, featuring a striking yet understated design that blends classical elegance with modern simplicity. The lantern’s frame is composed of gracefully curved brass supports, crowned with delicate finials, lending it a sense of airy sophistication. Encased in clear cylindrical glass panels, the structure allows an unobstructed view of the two-light candelabra, which mimics the appearance of traditional wax candles with faux candle sleeves. Adding to its charm, the fixture is adorned with delicate brass chains draped along the frame, providing subtle decorative detail while enhancing its classic aesthetic. The warm patina of the brass complements the sleek glass panels, creating a soft, inviting glow when illuminated. Suspended from a sturdy brass chain, this lantern is perfect for an entryway, a powder room, or as an accent piece over a dining table or kitchen island. With its versatile design, this chandelier seamlessly integrates into a variety of interior styles, from traditional and antique-inspired settings to more contemporary spaces in need of a touch of vintage charm.
