1154, 1155, 1156 “Glen Ellyn” Porch Lantern with Hammered Texture
We’ve got 3 of these 1930’s porch lanterns in rust proof cast aluminum. In the 1934 Sears catalog these were called the “Glen Ellyn”. We’ve restored the plated copper finish and put on a new dark brown relieved patina which really shows off the roudh hammered texture of the casting. The original glass shades were long broken and missing, but our custom made mica shades always look great. The open bottom will spill a lot of light out onto your porch. 10” tall, 7” deep and 5.5” wide. The backplate is 5.5” by 5”.
Note on the mica: We’ve fabricated a new shade out of real orange mica. Mica is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used for lamp shades and the like into the 1930s. Care should be given when placed outside--if you live in extreme temperatures, you might want to consider this for a semi protected place like a covered porch, rather than a place that is exposed to all the elements. Also be aware that mica softens at low temperatures of only a few hundred degrees--we recommend using low wattage bulbs, or perhaps a compact fluorescent (not our favorite bulb, but they have their place in today’s world.....) For incandescent bulbs, we’d recommend a 40w max.
