Finding the Right Lanterns for You
Whether you’re in search of a functional fixture to help illuminate a room or just a minimalist ornamental touch, the choice of lighting is important. Selecting the perfect vintage, new or antique lanterns can transform an otherwise monotonous space in your home.
In the 1700s, lanterns became widely popular when accessibility broadened for whale oil, as fuel for lamps was one of its earliest uses. Lantern design evolved considerably during the mid- to late 19th century, when a powerful, adaptable fuel came into play: kerosene. Portable and immediately sought after, kerosene lamps were traditionally surrounded by a glass globe or tube that sat on a metal frame to protect the flame from spreading or extinguishing. (While reproductions abound, antique kerosene lanterns have since become collector's items.)
Later, in 1862, John H. Irwin created coil oil lamps, which were designed for coal oils as well as kerosene and lessened the risk of fire. They required plentiful oxygen to remain lit, and with refinements, the lamps could be used indoors. Lanterns increasingly came to be part of commercial spaces such as museums and theaters, and over time, lighting artisans worked to refine and perfect these innovative fixtures so that they weren’t only practical but also elegant, sophisticated additions to home decor.
Antiques inject a touch of classical chic into any space. With the right lantern, you could also deepen the impact of the collection of vases and vessels, sculptures or other decorative objects in a living room or dining room. It’s essential to find a balance between utility and aesthetics when choosing the perfect vintage–style lantern for your space, and the right lighting decisions can determine the underlying mood of a room as well as enhance the choices you’ve made for your home’s decor. While old-time charm is something to be cherished, there is lots to love in modern lanterns from today’s top furniture designers.
On 1stDibs, search by creator to find lanterns crafted by the likes of Woka Lamps, Barovier Toso and Material Lust or browse the collection by style. From today’s standouts to mid-century modern classics to Art Deco–era innovations, find the best vintage, new or antique lantern for you now.
Questions About Stained Glass Lanterns
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Stain glass originated in the 4th century with churches and monasteries from the Ancient Roman Empire. Churches and other significant religious buildings often still have stained glass features. In more recent years, stained glass elements can be found in art and design elements, including sculptures and home decor. Shop a range of stained glass pieces on 1stDibs.
- How do you make stained glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The process of making stained glass is easier than it looks. As long as you have the necessary tools: glass, a glass cutter, cutting oil, pliers, copper foil, soldering iron, solder, flux, grinder, and a lightbox, you will master the art of stained glass in no time. The first step to making stained glass is creating a pattern. Next you will cut the glass and grind down the rough edges. Lastly, comes foiling and soldering.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The difference between stained glass and painted glass is how it is made. To create stained glass, an artisan adds pigments to the glass and then fires it at high temperatures to permanently change the appearance of the material. With painted glass, color is added after firing and may rub off or fade with age. You'll find a large selection of glass decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024The difference between Tiffany glass and stained glass is that one relates to a brand and the other is a type of glass. Stained glass is colorful glass made by adding metallic oxides to molten glass during the blowing process. Named after Louis Comfort Tiffany who established Tiffany Studios, Tiffany glass involves a technique where copper foil, rather than the traditional lead oxide, serves as the joining material for individual stained glass pieces. Another key characteristic of Tiffany glass is that it often has an opalescent effect that creates variations in color and texture across its surface. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Tiffany glass and other stained glass pieces.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a few different ways to determine the age of stained glass. The style and design, type of glass, and type of beveling and leading used can all provide clues to the age of a stained glass item. Experts recommend working with a certified appraiser or local antique shop to help identify age identifiers. Shop a selection of stained glass windows and decor on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Architects and artists have incorporated stained glass into their designs for centuries and across many different eras.

On 1stDibs, shop a collection of stained glass windows from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Stained glass is used in churches to both enhance the beauty and spirituality of the space while also informing the viewer through narrative and symbolism. Shop beautiful stained glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The purpose of stained glass windows is to let light into a space while also enhancing the visual appeal of a room. In churches, stained glass windows played an instructional role. Before most people knew how to read, the windows helped tell the stories of the Old and New Testaments and the saints. Shop a collection of stained glass windows on 1stDibs.
- Is stained glass Art Nouveau?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, some stained glass is Art Nouveau. It was during this period that Louis Comfort Tiffany produced his famed stained glass windows and decorative objects. However, the tradition of producing stained glass traces all the way back to the Gothic period. You'll find a selection of stained glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024To tell if stained glass is Tiffany, first examine the piece and look for a maker's mark. Tiffany Studios changed its hallmarks many times over the years. By comparing the marking on your piece to images of hallmarks found on authentic items shared on trustworthy websites, you can begin to identify your glass. The base can provide an additional clue if your stained glass piece is a lamp. Many Tiffany lamps have a gray metal ring located under the cap. If you spot one, your piece may be made by Tiffany. Because there are many reproductions on the market, it is often wise to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer assist with the identification process. Find a range of Tiffany glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A stained-glass window is a glass window that is used to illustrate Biblical persons, groups, stories, and/or patronizing images. Many churches have used stained glass windows in their designs over the years. Churchgoers might look to these windows to reflect on their faith and apply what they see to their daily lives.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022It depends, some doors have panels that can include stained glass but not necessarily all doors. The ideal doors for stained glass are doors that contain a windowpane that can be swapped out. Shop a selection of doors on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021What a stained glass window will be worth will depend on condition and other attributes. A stained glass window can range in price anywhere from $595 to $45,000.
