This commanding fixture features an open-cage design constructed from sturdy metal with a brilliant gold gilt finish that catches the light beautifully. The intricate framework is defined by classic pointed arches, twisted rope-style columns, and elaborate fleur-de-lis finials at every corner, evoking the grandeur of cathedral architecture. Suspended within the frame is a four-light candelabra cluster, ready to cast a warm, welcoming glow over a grand entryway, a vaulted dining room, or a Mediterranean-style stairwell.

With an impressive scale, this lantern measures 18.5 inches square and stands a towering 43.75 inches in height (excluding chain/canopy). It is in great vintage condition, showing a rich, aged patina and minor wear to the gilding that only enhances its Old World charm. The wiring appears intact, though professional inspection is recommended prior to installation. Whether you are illuminating a high-ceilinged library or looking for a centerpiece for a historic renovation, this striking fixture promises to elevate your interior design. See less
