RARE EARLY ANTIQUE PRIMITIVE Hanging Cage Candle Lantern NICE EARLY PRIMITIVE

Condition for age as shown. RARE EARLY ANTIQUE PRIMITIVE “Hanging Cage Candle Lantern” NICE EARLY PRIMITIVE. All sides are shown. A couple of the top angled panels have some green patina on them and looks to me like a copper base on all panels but I’m not sure. Its non magnetic because I checked it with a magnet. Nothing on this seems to be magnetic. It might have had glass panels at one time but I’m not sure. There an oblong ring hanging from large top ring thats hand forged from by blacksmith. From the hand forged oblong ring is a small ring with a round shaft that has threads turned on the end. They started turning threads in 1800. That shaft is old in itself. The lantern itself might be a lot older than the threaded shaft which could have been added later. Its got a nice old patina. The sides of the lantern are tapered top to bottom. From top of large ring to bottom of lantern is about 13 & 1/2. Width is about 6 & 1/2″ at top tapered down to 5 & 1/4″ at bottom of lantern.
