Valentini “La Bretonne” Hurricane Lantern – French Vintage 1950s/60s – VG Marked Glass, Fully Usable
Sold
French storm lantern from the manufacturer Valentini, model La Bretonne. Produced between 1928 and 1960; this piece is likely from the 1950s–1960s. Valentini produced lanterns under several names, with most storm lamps released as Valentini & Genin.
Excellent, fully functional condition. It stands slightly off-straight, a minor detail that doesn't affect use. Shows light signs of age.
There's an old repair: the glass holder has been secured with two small screws. Doesn't affect functionality.

Suitable for a collection, or as lighting at home, in the garden, or camping.
