An Etched Glass Lantern is a hanging lantern incorporating decorative etched glass panels that diffuse light while providing visual interest. Frequently produced during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, these lanterns combine brass or bronze frameworks with beautifully engraved floral or geometric glass. They remain popular for entrance halls, porches and period interiors. *Related Terms*\ Brass Lantern, Ceiling Lantern, Etched Glass Shade, Hall Lantern, Hanging Lantern.
