Loving these lanterns

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.

  1. Hello Kim,
    Your blog is so fresh and inviting. Love your cushion designs with stripe coordinate, they look fabulous. I can just visualise them in an outdoor setting.
    I look forward to following your design journey... so glad you are sharing your talent.
