PRICE:
$650
LAST ONE from a SPECIAL ORDERED SET WE PUT INTO A CUSTOM HOME in 2004. A simple, yet effective look: clear blown glass bell, using a blown glass bottom fob (instead of a metal piece), with a solid sand-blast finish for 3/4's of the way up towards top rim - NO OTHER PATTERNING OR ENGRAVING. This is therefore a one-of a kind piece, varying from all others regularly available. With hanging candle-look light cluster, smoke bell, collar with support chains, and cast ceiling canopy with chain to hang. The finish is a soft, brass look. (PLEASE NOTE ABOUT PRICING: THE DISCOUNTED PRICE IS FOR WHAT WE HAVE IN STOCK, ONLY!! ALL ADD'L PIECES THAT WE WOULD NEED TO ORDER FOR YOU IS AT A NEWLY QUOTED PRICE.)

PROVENANCE:
Hall lanterns of this design were originally made in the late 18th and early 19th century for use in British, British Colonial, and American Colonial homes. Used to illuminate as well as to decorate entrance halls, foyers, and hallways, the hall lantern offered good lighting and a warm welcome to visitors of the early colonial homes.
Our hall lanterns are all hand made like the early 19th century originals. The glass domes and smoke bells are hand blown and have copper wheel engraved floral motives. The brass hardware is also hand made, including the canopy, chain, bezel band with griffin head hooks, and the ventilator cap. Generally, the brass hardware is finished in dark bronze (in some cases, a golden brass, or soft-polished brass is offered).
In addition, our lanterns have a candle cup in the bottom ventilator cap and by removing the electrical wiring, the fixture is automatically converted to wax candle use. However, this conversion would not be recommended for anything other than decorative purposes.
