Art Deco Asian Style Lantern Pendant with Stylized Trees Graphics & Brass Canopy
Located in Lisse, NL
Handcrafted and rare, Asian style, opaline glass lantern pendant.
This rare combination-of-styles pendant is in superb condition and a joy to own and look at. We had never before seen a 1920s pendant of this rare Asian design and to have found it in this amazing condition more than made our day. This quality crafted, opaline glass shade is of a beautiful, geometrical Art Deco design. The calm colors that were used to paint the Asian tree and mountainside graphics onto the opaline glass surface give this pendant an extra serene quality, both with the light switched on and off. It is why we refer to this piece as the 'Zen Pendant'. The original bronzed brass gallery including the chain and canopy also add to this rare light's serene look and feel. They just don't make rare light fixtures of this quality and beauty anymore. To us this mixture of worldly styles and wonderful materials brings out the best of both those two worlds. Finally, its practical size makes this light perfect for an entrance, for a bedroom, for a landing or for a particular area in your living room. The warm light it radiates will help create just the right atmosphere you are looking for. If you feel as good about this rare antique fixture as we do then we are certain that this work of lighting art too will help toward making your house your home. It is rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well.

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.
