Product Description
This colonial Mexican wrought iron wall lantern is a handcrafted fixture that reflects both Spanish Colonial heritage and Mexico’s artisanal blacksmithing traditions. The trapezoidal lantern body narrows toward the base, crowned with a pitched canopy and leafy finial. Frosted or lightly textured glass panels soften the glow, while the ornate C- and S-scroll bracket balances strength with movement. Its dark patina finish and hand-riveted construction ensure durability and authenticity, making it ideal for hacienda courtyards, mission-style entryways, and Colonial Revival architecture across Mexico and the American Southwest.

Lantern Design Features
This lantern reflects strong Spanish Colonial design, widely adopted in Mexico during the 16th–18th centuries. Its trapezoidal body, ornate scroll bracket, leafy finial, and cresting details embody colonial craftsmanship. Forged iron, rivets, twisted rods, hammered leaf accents, and frosted glass panels ensure both durability and artistry.
