This charming antique onion lantern features a hand-blown dark glass globe protected by a sturdy copper frame and cage. The top and bottom sections are also crafted from copper, exhibiting an attractive natural patina consistent with age and exposure. The lantern is equipped with a handle for carrying or hanging. These lanterns were commonly used on ships or in maritime settings, as well as for general outdoor illumination, dating typically from the late 19th to early 20th century. The robust construction and classic design make it a desirable decorative piece for nautical-themed interiors or period homes. There is a number "17926" stamped into the copper near the rim of the upper section. The wiring appears to be absent and may need to be electrified if desired for lighting.
