Large 20th-century wrought iron lantern with colored stained glass in the Louis XIV style
To adorn a vestibule, a peristyle, an armory…
Very fine forging work with acanthus leaf decoration ending in ornate turnstiles
The branches are gathered at the top by an openwork crown with a floral motif
This lantern is square with stained glass on all sides
One of the four sides is an opening door
In the center of the sides: mauve-colored beveled cabochons and around it superb work with red, blue, green, and honey yellow stained glass.
The sides also feature an openwork gallery at the top and bottom
Beautiful finishes: certainly commissioned or masterly work
Can be easily electrified
Good overall condition – one little broken glass
