Pair of English Verdigris Copper Alloy Hall Lanterns, Late 19th Century
$5,500
A handsome pair of English copper-alloy hall lanterns dating to the late 19th century.
Each lantern features a domed cap surmounted by a suspension ring, above a pierced geometric gallery with repeating X-pattern fretwork. Four vertical supports connect the upper canopy to the lower circular frame, enclosing a four-light interior cluster. The bodies retain a richly developed verdigris patina consistent with long-term oxidation of copper alloy.
The construction appears riveted and structurally solid, characteristic of English architectural lighting from the Aesthetic and Neoclassical Revival periods. The geometric pierced detail gives the lanterns a refined architectural presence, making them suitable for entry halls, covered porches, or interior transitional spaces.
Originally candle-lit, the lanterns have been later electrified and are currently wired for the USA. The interior cluster supports four candelabra bulbs.
The surface oxidation is natural and visually attractive, not artificially applied.
