Analysis of the Lantern
The design is deeply rooted in Spanish Colonial, Hacienda, and Mediterranean Revival architecture. Its rustic scrollwork connects directly to Mexican blacksmithing traditions, where fluid curves were both aesthetic and structural. The frosted glass panels diffuse light softly, reducing glare and casting warm, inviting illumination across patios, courtyards, and entryways. Even when unlit, the lantern serves as a decorative accent, enhancing façades with its handcrafted character.
