Description

Pair of Vintage Tin Lanterns—Red Four-Panel & Orange Globe Lanterns

Offered as a pair, these two vintage tin lanterns present contrasting early–mid 20th century forms: one featuring a bold red square body with four framed glass panels, and the other a cylindrical orange lantern fitted with an amber ribbed glass globe. Both retain their original removable burner assemblies, shown in supplemental photos, and display hand-applied finishes typical of utilitarian lighting of the era. Their differing silhouettes and aged patina create an appealing visual pairing for display.

Ideal for collectors of early lighting, rustic décor, or industrial antiques, these lanterns offer authentic period character and strong decorative presence. Their weathered surfaces and intact glass elements make them a compelling addition to themed interiors, prop collections, or historical settings.

CONDITION

Good overall with age-appropriate wear across both lanterns, including rust, dents, finish loss, and surface oxidation. Glass components on both pieces show no cracks or breaks. Burners exhibit oxidation but remain intact. Review photos for full condition details.

DIMENSIONS

Red Lantern: approx. 9 1/2" H × 4 1/2" W × 4 1/2" D
Orange Lantern: approx. 8" H × 4" W × 4" D
