This antique lantern frame is a magnificent example of mid-20th-century luxury lighting. Crafted in formerly gilded brass, it is designed in the unmistakable taste of Maison Baguès, the ultimate reference for French neoclassical elegance. Its airy and refined structure is finished with a crystal pinecone finial at the base—a classical motif symbolizing immortality and rebirth, frequently seen in the firm's iconic creations. Standing at an impressive seventy-two centimeters, this antique lantern frame offers a strong architectural presence, ideal for elevating a grand entryway or a sophisticated staircase. The natural patina of the brass, with subtle hints of its original gilding, adds an authentic historical charm to the piece. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
