An extraordinary vintage Kash Lantern chandelier by Ashore Lighting, showcasing the dramatic scale, artistry, and craftsmanship that defined the company’s iconic hand-forged lighting designs. Handcrafted in Dallas, Texas, this monumental lantern embodies the romance of Old World European architecture, blending substantial forged iron construction with elegant crystal accents and sophisticated lantern styling.
The chandelier features exceptionally intricate scrolling ironwork with graceful hand-forged flourishes, riveted detailing, and sculptural twisted supports throughout. The open lantern silhouette creates remarkable architectural presence while maintaining an airy elegance. Cascading faceted crystal pendalogues soften the substantial iron frame with brilliance, movement, and subtle sparkle, creating a refined balance between strength and sophistication.
Suspended within the lantern structure are multiple candle-style lights that cast a warm, atmospheric glow reminiscent of grand Mediterranean estates, French manor houses, and historic European interiors. The sculptural silhouette commands attention whether installed in a foyer, dining room, great room, stair hall, vaulted living space, or luxury covered loggia.
The finish is Ashore Lighting’s highly sought-after antique Old World iron finish — a deep warm charcoal gray with subtle bronze highlights and layered patina throughout. The coloration has exceptional depth and richness in person, giving the chandelier a timeless and quietly luxurious presence that complements a wide range of interiors.
Unlike many contemporary reproductions, the Kash Lantern reflects the artistry of true hand-forged decorative ironwork from an era when these fixtures were individually crafted rather than mass manufactured. The scale, weight, and detailing are especially impressive in person.
This particular lantern measures approximately 60 inches high by 38 inches wide, with an additional approximately 40 inches of hanging chain included. Additional matching chain may still be obtained through Ashore Lighting if a longer drop is desired.
This size falls between the currently offered Medium and Large Kash Lantern sizes sold by Ashore Lighting. For reference, current retail pricing found online ranges approximately as follows:
• Small (28” x 42”) — retail approximately $4,800
• Medium (28” x 54”) — approximately $6,549.99
• Large (38” x 80”) — approximately $7,600
Given its proportions, this chandelier represents an especially desirable scale that combines the dramatic width of the large model with a more versatile overall height.
Please note: this is an extremely substantial and heavy fixture and will require appropriate reinforced ceiling support and professional installation. See less
