Moorish Lighting

MOORISH STYLE

After the Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula in the eighth century, Islamic Spain became a cultural mix of influences that shaped both private homes and religious spaces. Moorish design was the name given to this style, which evolved through the 15th century with vibrant tile work, horseshoe arches and lavish ornamentation, most visible at sites such as Granada’s Alhambra and the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba. Moorish furniture was often similarly ornate, and featured pieces inlaid with wood, ivory and bone.

When European designers began studying Moorish art and architecture in the early 19th century, it led to a Moorish Revival. Appropriating the style’s decorative flourishes and architectural elements, it promoted a romantic view of Islamic design. Travelers could bring home a memento of what they witnessed in the Middle East, a trend that aligned with a fad for themed interiors. Men’s smoking rooms arranged with ottomans, divans and settees and inlaid tables were especially popular, as were cafés where coffee was served amid bead curtains and colorful floor mats. (Handwoven rugs are a centerpiece of Moorish interiors.) Octagonal rooms with domed ceilings were created for wealthy homes, frequently with furnishings like pipe stands, filigree plasterwork and arched doorways. The horseshoe arch is an iconic attribute of Moorish architecture that, in addition to Spain, can be found in Sicily, Morocco and elsewhere.

Several late 19th to early 20th-century movements featured Moorish touches. The American and English Aesthetic Movement, for example, borrowed liberally from global decorating styles, as seen in furniture designed by Lockwood de Forest, a New York-born artist who mixed Eastern and Western forms. The visual vocabulary of Art Nouveau also references the elegant use of geometry in Moorish design, with Milanese Art Nouveau furniture designer Carlo Bugatti drawing inspiration from the style. The Arts and Crafts movement, which prized expressive yet simple design, incorporated Moorish influences; hand-painted furniture and tile work created by William De Morgan, a British designer and potter who made furnishings for the likes of Morris & Co., were informed by techniques from Moorish Spain.

Moroccan Moorish Granada Clear Glass Bronze Lantern Pendant, Marrakech 1990s
Moroccan Moorish Granada Clear Glass Bronze Lantern Pendant, Marrakech 1990s

Moroccan Moorish Granada Clear Glass Bronze Lantern Pendant, Marrakech 1990s

Located in Moreno Valley, CA

An exceptionally architectural Moroccan Moorish Granada pendant lantern, handcrafted in Marrakech, Morocco, circa 1980. This smaller-scale version of the classic Granada lantern combines intricate metalwork with multiple tiers of faceted clear glass, creating a jewel-like hanging fixture with remarkable visual depth and presence. The lantern measures 23 inches high by 14 inches in diameter, making it particularly versatile for spaces where a monumental Moroccan chandelier would be overwhelming. Its compact proportions work beautifully in an entry, powder room, dressing room, bedroom, hallway, kitchen, covered loggia or as a series of pendants installed above an island or along a corridor. The elaborate silhouette is constructed through eleven distinct architectural levels, each incorporating angular metal framing and multifaceted clear glass panels. The succession of projecting and recessed tiers gives the lantern its distinctive Granada-inspired profile, recalling the geometric architecture and ornamental vocabulary associated with Moorish and Andalusian design. When illuminated, the numerous clear glass surfaces catch and reflect the light from different angles, giving the fixture a luminous, almost diamond-like quality. Unlike colored Moroccan lanterns, the use of clear glass gives this example a sophisticated neutrality that allows it to integrate easily into Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, Moorish, Moroccan, Islamic, eclectic and contemporary interiors. The metal framework has a warm dark bronze-tone finish with naturally aged patina, complementing the transparency of the glass and emphasizing the lantern's complex geometry. Each fixture was individually handcrafted by artisans in Marrakech using traditional metalworking and lantern-making techniques, and subtle irregularities are characteristic of handmade Moroccan craftsmanship rather than machine production. A discreet hinged access panel allows the interior bulbs to be changed without dismantling the fixture. The lantern has been restored and rewired for American use with an interior cluster accommodating three candelabra-style bulbs. Hanging chain and ceiling canopy are included, and the chain length can be adjusted or additional chain supplied according to the installation requirements and ceiling height. The fixture is intended for indoor use or a protected covered area and should not be directly exposed to rain or severe weather. Multiple examples are available, making this model particularly attractive for designers requiring a coordinated series of Moroccan lanterns for a hallway, covered arcade, staircase, kitchen, hospitality project or Mediterranean-style residence. Presented in good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and handcrafted construction. There is some natural patina and oxidation to the metal as well as minor scratches and irregularities to the glass. A highly decorative yet remarkably versatile Marrakech-made Moroccan lantern, combining traditional Moorish craftsmanship with a sophisticated architectural form and jewel-like clear glass. Lantern body: 23 in H × 14 in diameter. Style: Moorish Origin: Marrakech, Morocco Period: Late 20th Century Date: circa 1980 Materials: Metal, Clear Glass Techniques: Handcrafted, Hand-Assembled Finish: Aged dark bronze-tone metal Power Source: Hardwired Voltage: 110–150V Lights: 3 candelabra sockets Dimensions: 23 in H × 14 in diameter Chain: Adjustable; additional chain can be supplied Canopy: Included Use: Indoor or protected covered area Condition: Good vintage condition; restored and rewired; age-related patina, oxidation and minor glass scratches Quantity: Multiple available SEO keywords: Moroccan lantern, Moorish pendant light, Granada lantern, Moroccan pendant...
