About

For a unique lighting feature, look no further than this beautiful, antique Gothic style lantern.

At its center, a striking amber diamond is framed by a mix of light blue, green, clear, and red-hued glass, evoking the grandeur of medieval ecclesiastical and castle-style lighting. One panel functions as a discreet door, allowing convenient access to the light bulbs. The wrought iron frame is built with intricate scrollwork and twisted metal details, accented with gilt highlights. Inside, the fixture houses three newly wired lights, each dressed with decorative candle sleeve covers, seamlessly blending historic charm with modern functionality. The Napoleon III lantern is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns the original patinated black finish with gilt accents. A wonderful addition for a wine cellar, a powder room or a small entry!
