This extraordinary fixture captures the ornate Moorish aesthetic, with pierced metalwork that casts captivating shadows when illuminated. Each glass gem is individually set within the lattice, adding vibrant reflections of red, green, blue, and amber tones.

The metal body showcases exquisite hand-cut detailing with arabesque and floral motifs, topped by a sculptural finial in the form of a rooster—an unusual and eye-catching detail. The lantern’s tiered dome silhouette and circular gallery with miniature pillar supports give it a temple-like presence, blending artistic craftsmanship with architectural symmetry.

Originally wired for electricity, this piece is ready for installation and accommodates a standard light bulb (up to 60 watts). The lantern’s deep bronze patina and hand-tooled texture reveal the artisan quality typical of mid-century Moroccan export pieces—likely crafted in Marrakech during the 1960s–1970s.

A stunning statement piece whether used as a hanging pendant, hard wired as statement lighting, or displayed as a table centerpiece.
