Moroccan Pierced-Metal Hanging Lantern with Cobalt Blue Glass, 50 cm Tealight Lamp with Chain

Some objects simply ask to be lit at dusk, and this is one of them. A handsome Oriental hanging lantern from the souks of North Africa, its silvered metal frame cut into a froth of pierced filigree and crowned with a domed Moorish top and slender finials top and bottom. The six tall panels are glazed in deep cobalt blue rippled glass, so that a single tealight inside turns the whole thing into a pool of sapphire light. Standing 50 cm tall plus its hanging chain, it has all the romance of a riad courtyard and none of the airfare.

One hinged side door opens to drop in your tealight, then closes with a neat little latch. Hang it over a stairwell, a balcony, or a dinner table and watch ordinary evenings turn faintly Arabian Nights.

Styling & Collectors Inspiration

This lantern loves company that is a little exotic and a little theatrical. We would suspend it near our Unique Jugendstil Hanging Lamp with Green Beads for a layered, jewel-toned ceiling of light. On a console below, pair it with the Unique Tibetan Ganesha Mask in handcrafted brass to keep the metalwork conversation going, and set a flame dancing in our Hand-Forged Iron Candle Holder alongside. For full caravan drama, add the Rare Balinese Garuda Figure and call your hallway a temple.
