Design Features
This lantern emphasizes decorative metal craftsmanship and architectural balance. The structure feels intentional and composed, combining ornamental detail with open geometry so the fixture remains elegant rather than heavy. Every element contributes to a classic French Provincial language rooted in European tradition.
Overall form and visual character
The fixture is composed of a decorative wall bracket supporting a suspended open-frame lantern. The overall silhouette is tall and slender, designed to fill vertical wall space while maintaining visual lightness. Symmetry and proportion give the piece a composed, architectural presence suitable for prominent placement.
Wall bracket structure
The wall arm features hand-forged scrollwork with tight curls and looping flourishes inspired by French and Mediterranean iron traditions, translated here into brass. A hooked scroll terminates the bracket and supports a short hanging chain, allowing the lantern to float slightly away from the wall. This layered construction creates depth and shadow rather than a flat sconce effect.
Lantern frame and geometry
The lantern uses an open cage construction formed by slender brass rods arranged in a softly arched rectangular frame. Curved upper arms introduce gentle arches that echo the scrollwork above, while the lower frame mirrors these curves to reinforce symmetry. The open structure keeps the lantern visually light despite its height.
Light arrangement
Three candle-style lights are arranged evenly around a central vertical stem. This layout reinforces balance and classical order while referencing traditional European candle lanterns. With no glass enclosure, light radiates freely, creating a warm and inviting glow.
Material and finish
The brass finish presents a warm antique gold tone rather than a high-polish shine. This softer finish highlights craftsmanship, joints, and curves without glare. It supports both historic restorations and refined traditional interiors where authenticity and restraint are valued.
