c. 1800 Federal Period, Large Ornate Hand-crafted Six-Sided Glass Panel Tin Candle Lantern, Fine.
This impressively designed Tin Lantern measures about 16.5” tall x 6.5” wide. It has 6 glass panes around its sides, with 6 smaller glass panes inset at the upper portion for up-lighting which appear original. Its hinged door with latching mechanism is intact and in working condition. There are 6 “feet” around the base raising it about .75” above where placed, with a chimney style vented top having a tin suspension loop at top, lacking two decorative tin loops at upper portion with another partially loose. Expected wear from use and surface roughness and age patina to the metal surfaces. Overall, complete in appearance having a scarce high degree of craftsmanship, no doubt meant for a wealthy owner. Sold a very similar example in EAHA’s February 25, 2023 auction where it realized $625.
