Description
This charming antique hanging lantern combines a frosted, hand-painted glass body with a dramatic ruffled
cranberry-red rim, a decorative treatment typical of quality art glass lighting. The bulbous shade is
finished in a soft satin frost and hand-painted with a loose, naturalistic bouquet of daisies and wildflowers in
blue, pink, and yellow, scattered with smaller floral sprigs across the surface.
The shade’s flared, deeply ruffled rim is executed in rich cranberry glass, its crimped edge catching light
attractively and providing a vivid colour contrast to the soft frosted body below. The fixture is fitted with a
brass gallery ring and acanthus leaf-cast mounting bracket at the base, suspended from a brass chain for
hanging.
This lantern would make a romantic, atmospheric accent for an entry hall, stairwell, or reading nook, its
combination of hand-painted florals and vivid cranberry glass evoking the warm.
