Pair of Antique French Brass and Glass Lantern Wall Sconces c. 1900

A charming pair of antique French lantern wall sconces crafted in brass and glass, dating to the early twentieth century. Originally designed for exterior or vestibule use, these elegant fixtures embody the understated character and practical craftsmanship of French provincial architecture.

Each lantern features a tapered multi-pane glass body enclosed within a brass framework and mounted on a projecting wall bracket. Functional hinged access doors provide convenient access to the interior, while the simple architectural design allows the lanterns to complement a wide range of interiors and exterior settings.

The warm aged brass finish and original glass panels create a timeless appearance that works beautifully in French country homes, wine rooms, garden rooms, entryways, covered porches, and collected interiors. Their compact proportions make them especially versatile, offering authentic antique character without overwhelming a space.

A wonderful pair of architectural lanterns that blend historic charm with practical decorative appeal.

Why We Love Them

These lanterns possess the kind of authenticity that is increasingly difficult to find. Rather than heavily ornamented decorative lighting, they were built as practical architectural fixtures and have acquired character through decades of use. The hinged doors, aged brass surfaces, and clean geometric lines create a look that feels both timeless and effortlessly French.

Their modest size makes them exceptionally easy to incorporate into a home, while the original construction and period materials provide the warmth and charm that only genuine antique lighting can offer.
