French Artisan-Made Empire Style Copper or Aluminium Outdoor Wall Lantern Louvre
by
Roger Pradier
Description
This historic French wall lantern from the renowned workshop in Saint-Maur is available in high-quality aluminum with a choice of three finishes or in solid copper with finely crafted details.
The solid copper version, in particular, makes this luminaire a truly exceptional addition to Roger Pradier's collection of classic outdoor lighting. Its distinctive natural patina, meticulously crafted details, and historic design—featuring a crowned canopy roof and a clear semi-cylindrical glass diffuser—create elegant accents on sophisticated façades, entranceways, and heritage buildings.
Whether crafted from copper or aluminum, each lantern is handmade using the traditional folded-seam technique. In this manufacturing process, sheet metal is mechanically shaped by folding and bending its edges, increasing its structural strength while maintaining a relatively low weight.
The Louvre collection also includes wall and ceiling lights, as well as pedestal and post lights in different sizes.
Roger Pradier is a French manufactory situated in Saint Maur/Centre-Val-de-Loire that creates first-class outdoor lighting of premium quality and with exquisite design.

About the manufacturer
* Please note: Since the manufacturer will be closed for three weeks in August, there may be a delay in the production and/or shipment of your order. Thank you.
The exquisite, high-quality outdoor lights offered by Roger Pradier are available in various finishes. Unless indicated otherwise, fixtures by Pradier are made of varnished aluminium and include a non-corrosion guarantee* of 25 years (* about the guarantee).
Roger Pradier often does not rely on casting techniques for its outdoor lights, but instead uses folded sheet metal, mostly aluminium, but also brass or zinc. Folding is a sophisticated fabrication process in which metal sheets are mechanically bent and folded to significantly increase their strength and rigidity. The result is lighting fixtures that achieve the durability and stability of cast luminaires while using considerably less material and offering a much lower weight. The bulges and recesses created during the folding process also contribute positively to the authentic overall appearance of these traditionally crafted luminaires.
Some models are also manufactured from clear varnished brass, copper or raw zinc. The varnished aluminium models comprise various types of surfaces. Some are indicated with German RAL colors, whereas other color schemes do not allow for a standardized scale.
In addition to its historic French street lanterns, Pradier has, in recent years, earned recognition for its modern and contemporary designer outdoor lighting. Often based on inventive reinterpretations of classic outdoor lighting types such as country house lanterns and traditional street lights, these designs match their historic predecessors in craftsmanship while significantly expanding the range and character of the French manufacturer’s collection.
