Large Pair of Moroccan Style Lantern Pendant Lights by Feldman Lighting c. 1960
Located in Saint Louis, MO
Large dramatic pair of gilded Moroccan Modern pendant lights by Feldman Lighting in excellent condition with original and complete set of intact glass crystals. Large size. Lots of gilt, differing textures, shapes and curves. Corseted waist. Diamond shaped crystals are multidimensional and seem to change as you move about them. They cast colorful hues at night. Whimsical, sexy and romantic. Whether California Boho Chic, or full on Hollywood Regency, or a sexy eclectic room with a mix of those je ne sais quoi pieces guests always ask about, these two have you covered well. A mirrored background would be a splendid choice. So much detail. Each pendant has four staggered inner bulbs that distribute light output amongst all crystals. Three output settings alternate the number of bulbs that luminate at a time giving you the choice of 3 light combinations for your space. These Moroccan Style Pendants...

Vintage, New and Antique Lanterns
Whether you’re in search of a functional fixture to help illuminate a room or just a minimalist ornamental touch, the choice of lighting is important. Selecting the perfect vintage, new or antique lanterns can transform an otherwise monotonous space in your home.
In the 1700s, lanterns became widely popular when accessibility broadened for whale oil, as fuel for lamps was one of its earliest uses. Lantern design evolved considerably during the mid- to late 19th century, when a powerful, adaptable fuel came into play: kerosene. Portable and immediately sought after, kerosene lamps were traditionally surrounded by a glass globe or tube that sat on a metal frame to protect the flame from spreading or extinguishing. (While reproductions abound, antique kerosene lanterns have since become collector's items.)
Later, in 1862, John H. Irwin created coil oil lamps, which were designed for coal oils as well as kerosene and lessened the risk of fire. They required plentiful oxygen to remain lit, and with refinements, the lamps could be used indoors. Lanterns increasingly came to be part of commercial spaces such as museums and theaters, and over time, lighting artisans worked to refine and perfect these innovative fixtures so that they weren’t only practical but also elegant, sophisticated additions to home decor.
Antiques inject a touch of classical chic into any space. With the right lantern, you could also deepen the impact of the collection of vases and vessels, sculptures or other decorative objects in a living room or dining room. It’s essential to find a balance between utility and aesthetics when choosing the perfect vintage–style lantern for your space, and the right lighting decisions can determine the underlying mood of a room as well as enhance the choices you’ve made for your home’s decor. While old-time charm is something to be cherished, there is lots to love in modern lanterns from today’s top furniture designers.
On 1stDibs, search by creator to find lanterns crafted by the likes of Woka Lamps, Barovier & Toso and Material Lust or browse the collection by style. From today’s standouts to mid-century modern classics to Art Deco–era innovations, find the best vintage, new or antique lantern for you now.
