CENTURY-OLD LANTERNS
PHOTOGRAPHY: EMILIO CERRILLO
We had the opportunity to restore a set of stunning century-old lanterns that had mostly endured the test of time but required some TLC to bring them back to their former glory. Upon disassembling the lanterns, we assessed each part, determining which components could be restored and which ones needed to be replaced. Delicate features were recreated, and the cracked dome-shaped hoods were replaced with hand-shaped, spun copper hemispheres. Shade panels, crafted from precision-cut acrylic, now offer a warm glow, and new, reliable electrical components ensure their longevity. Restored to their former glory and UL certified, these lanterns seamlessly blend history with contemporary quality. We're proud to honor their legacy with exceptional craftsmanship.
