If only my house looked like this, I will hopefully recitfy shortly with a little more time on my hands. I simply love these french louis XVI style brass lanterns. I have a similar one ready to go up in my hallway. I bought it at a second hand dealer and it apparently came out of Vaucluse House. It is very big and impressive and we need a scaffold to erect it, but soon it will look impressive in my hallway. More photos to come....
Mine is a little more 1950's than Louis XVI but it is still lovely with the curved glass and gilt bronze and polished brass. The original curved glass is impressive. I have seen it for sale on a french antiques website for 650 Euro's.

I really love lanterns by the pool.
