Vintage Moroccan Moorish Multicolor Glass & Pierced Metal Hanging Lantern, 1980s

Located in Moreno Valley, CA

A beautifully handcrafted vintage Moroccan Moorish lantern featuring jewel-toned multicolor glass set within an intricately pierced metal framework. Made by skilled artisans in Marrakech, Morocco, circa 1980, this decorative lantern combines traditional Moroccan metalworking with amber, emerald green, lavender, cobalt and pale blue glass to create a richly atmospheric piece of North African lighting. The lantern has a distinctive faceted geometric form, measuring 18 inches high overall and 8.5 inches wide and deep. Its architectural silhouette is composed of multiple angled sections, with colored and textured glass panels alternating with pierced metalwork. The upper and lower sections are particularly attractive, featuring openwork geometric Moorish patterns designed to allow light to escape through the metalwork. When illuminated from within, the combination of translucent colored glass and pierced metal can produce a warm jewel-like glow while projecting subtle patterns of light and shadow onto nearby walls and ceilings. The effect is characteristic of traditional Moroccan lighting and makes the lantern especially appealing for interiors where atmospheric illumination is important. A small hinged door provides access to the interior. The lantern is currently not wired for electricity. It may be displayed with an appropriate candle or LED candle, or professionally wired for electrical use by a qualified electrician in accordance with local requirements. The upper hanging loop allows the piece to be suspended as a Moroccan pendant lantern or decorative hanging light. Its relatively compact scale also makes it particularly versatile for an entryway, powder room, bedroom, reading alcove or grouped installation. It can also be incorporated into a wall-mounted installation with suitable professional hardware. The combination of aged metal and colored glass gives the lantern the collected character particularly desirable in Moroccan, Moorish, Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial and eclectic interiors. It also provides a strong artisanal counterpoint within contemporary spaces, where its sculptural geometry and jewel-toned glass can function almost as a suspended decorative object. Handcrafted in Marrakech, Morocco, circa 1980. Dimensions: Overall height from upper loop through lower finial: 18 in. Width: 8.5 in. Depth: 8.5 in. Lantern body / glass shade: approximately 12 in. H × 8.5 in. W. Condition: Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. The aged metal surface contributes to its authentic vintage character. Not currently wired for electricity.

Questions About Luminaire Lanterns

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    The difference between lighting and a luminaire is specificity. Lighting is the general term for anything that provides electric illumination. Table lamps, pendants, ceiling lights and sconces are all examples of lighting. Luminaire is the term for the portion of a lighting fixture that produces light. It includes the socket that holds the bulb, wiring, reflectors and other components. Shop a diverse assortment of lighting on 1stDibs.

    The difference between a lamp and a luminaire is that a luminaire is a full lighting unit that includes a lamp or lamps as well as the components that distribute the light, whereas luminaires can be traditional incandescent, fluorescent, or other electric-discharge luminaires. While the precise term for this type of light source is "lamp," the term "bulb" is more generally used. Shop a range of antique and vintage lamps and luminaires on 1stDibs.
