Antique Italian Venetian Rococo Carved Painted Gilt Wood 3-Light Hall Lantern
Located in Forney, TX
A most impressive antique Italian Venetian Rococo carved painted parcel gilt wooden hall lantern.
Hand carved in the Veneto region (Venice) of Northeast Italy in the 18th / possibly early 19th century, exceptionally executed in the highly ornate, whimsy, light, airy, dramatic splendor that is period late Baroque Rococo style, lavishly ornamented and elaborately sculpted, featuring a large triangular sculptural form enclosing later electrified three faux candle lights, showcasing the original pale pastel green ground adorned with whimsy hand painted polychrome flower motif and ornate giltwood carvings, with beautifully aged patina over the whole. circa 1740-1810
This very large lantern probably graced a sweeping hall or palatial entry of a Venetian aristocratic palazzo decorated with frescoed walls and ceilings, marble floors, surrounded by opulent artwork.
Importance / History:
For many centuries, the control of artificial light was an important status symbol for people living in most cultures and was an instantly understood sign of wealth and power. Beginning in the early 17th century, grand lanterns such as this were first created and hung in the entrance halls, foyers and/or vestibules of important mansions and manor houses of the aristocratic and affluent classes of Italy, France and Spain.
Up until the early 20th century, the entrance hall was considered to be one of the most important spaces in any house. The main reason was that was the most public space in a house, and prior to phones or email, the space into which guests were admitted. Many, such as business people or important tradesmen, seldom went any further into the house. Therefore, that important entryway was designed and decorated with the intent of making the best impression on anyone who might enter it and to ensure they had the highest opinion of the residents of that house.
Dimensions: (approx)
32" Tall, 16.75" Wide, 16.75" Deep
Condition:
Very good antique condition with highly desirable original warm rustic distressed chippy paint patina. Modern lighting and wiring. Lots of antique character and old world European charm, wear consistent with age and use, including scattered minor nicks, losses and exposed gesso adding to the sophisticated whimsical elegance, warmth, and rich antique opulence!
Similar to a chandelier / hanging ceiling lamp / monumental pendant light...

Unique Handcrafted Danish Ceramic Pendant Jette Hellerøe Light Fixture, 1970s
Located in Lisse, NL
Beautiful color and good size Danish hand crafted fixture with chestnut leaf pattern.
If you are looking for a stylish design, light to grace your midcentury or modern home then this handmade specimen from the 1970s could be flying your way soon. With lighting as one of our specialties we were, again, very happy to have been able to purchase this rare ceramic light as well. We purchased it from the same home where we found the Helleroe pendant that we published on 1stdibs yesterday. This fine specimen too has an organic-design and color shade and the chestnut leafs make it extra special and aesthetically pleasing. Both with the light switched on and off this work of lighting art too has a unique presence, one that will never fail to impress. This natural stone-like color pendant comes with a metal chain and an equally beautiful and original ceramic canopy. With the light switched on this Scandinavian light fixture...
