Lantern Or Torch In Painted And Gilded Iron, Italy, Late 19th Century
Italian lantern made of sheet iron painted in red and dark green, enhanced with gilded details. Hexagonal structure adorned with gilded columns and openwork motifs, topped by a small lantern with floral decoration. The piece is in an eclectic style with Neo-Gothic influences.
The lantern was designed to be mounted at the end of a pole rather than suspended, for outdoor use—hence the presence of transparent panes protecting the flame from the wind.
Condition: signs of age-related wear, traces of oxidation, and slight deformations of the metal sheet. Some elements are missing or detached; one pane is absent, and other parts show losses or broken welds. Despite these alterations, it remains a rare and highly decorative object.
