ID? Antique Utility Hallway Lantern by Etty Isaac posted Jul 2, 2025 at 5:28 PM[/GALLERY]Hi guys, I'm hoping for some help with identification and possibly value... What I think I've managed to confirm so far is as follows: Late 18th / early 19th century lantern Used a utility lantern rather then a decorative item. Some clues of age include: very thin brass sheets used for the fittings, glass has ragged edges and has a bubble, not very precise handy work, hand/acid etching motif, clear glass, pulley system to lift glass and expose candle so could be easily replaced, ceiling rose thick and not refined, slotted screws, patinated fittings, hand folded/assembled chains etc. any corrections or further details including value - would be much appreciated. I think it's missing its glass chimney. Someone tried to convert it to an electric lamp. Many thanks[/QUOTE]
