Good Size Venetian Mouth Blown Glass in Hand-Crafted Metal Frame Pendant Light
Located in Lisse, NL
Good size, mid century made and great condition light fixture.
This stylish Venetian pendant is in excellent condition and the transparent glass is perfectly and symmetrically blown into the geometrically circular metal frame and the result is an absolute joy to look at. The size and shape of this wonderful work of Italian lighting art make it perfect for an entrance, kitchen, landing, etc. The wonderful presence and the bright light it radiates bring class and elegance into your home like no modern day light fixture ever could. What makes this fine specimen extra special are the evenly bulging circular patterns. They reminded us of the circular patterns that are temporarily left behind on a person's skin after being treated with the traditional Chinese jar cupping therapy. Mind you, thanks to the chain, you can easily change the height to one that is perfect for you and this pendant is also rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage the world over.
Again great value for money. Especially since our price for this stylish art glass pendant includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.

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.
