With antique light fixtures as one of our specialties, we know how rare Gothic lanterns are and we are certain this fine specimen will find its way to a good home too. Also, because this all hand-crafted, Gothic Revival pendant completely original and in very good condition. The natural wear has only made this rare fixture more beautiful and its authentic, Medieval look and feel will never fail to impress. It may have originally hung in the entrance of a home in France or maybe above the main entrance of a medieval style chateau or castle, we are not sure. What we are quite certain of is that it is highly unlikely that we or you will ever find another one like it. The stylized Gothic rosettes above and below the Gothic church window-like panels in all six sides are just some of the wonderful features that make this work of lighting art so authentic and desirable. This light even comes with the original, antique cathedral glass...
