An impressive matching pair of large vintage Moroccan hanging lanterns, handcrafted in Marrakech during the 1980s and distinguished by their exceptional scale, intricate pierced-metal decoration and clear glass construction. Measuring approximately 40 inches high before the chains are added, these architectural light fixtures bring the atmosphere of a Moroccan riad, Moorish palace or Andalusian courtyard into a sophisticated contemporary interior. Each lantern is constructed around a faceted metal framework inset with clear glass panels. The transparent glass allows the internal candle-form lights to remain visible while emphasizing the lantern’s elaborate silhouette. Narrow pierced-metal panels alternate with the glass, creating layered geometric patterns inspired by traditional Islamic architecture and Moroccan decorative arts. The main body has a broad polygonal form framed by gently angled glass panels. Above, an elongated pierced-metal crown rises toward the suspension ring, while the lower section terminates in a sculptural bulbous pierced-metal finial. Dense openwork decoration continues across the upper and lower portions, giving the lanterns visual interest from every angle. When illuminated, the pierced patterns cast delicate shadows across the surrounding walls and ceiling. The metal has a deep bronze-colored finish with subtle tonal variation and an aged appearance. This description refers to the color and finish; the fixtures are constructed from metal and are not being represented as solid bronze. Their dark patinated surfaces provide an elegant contrast to the clear glass and complement Spanish Colonial, Moroccan, Moorish, Mediterranean, Islamic, North African and contemporary interiors. Each lantern has been rewired in the United States with three candelabra-base sockets, providing six lights across the pair. Matching chains and ceiling canopy plates are included and will coordinate with the original bronze-tone finish. Chain length can be adjusted according to ceiling height and the desired overall drop. Professional installation by a licensed electrician is recommended. Bulbs are not included. Each lantern body measures approximately 40 inches high by 18 inches in diameter, excluding its suspension chain and ceiling canopy. The final installed height will depend upon the selected chain length. Their substantial proportions make them particularly well suited to a high-ceilinged entrance hall, long dining room, grand staircase, covered interior courtyard, boutique hotel or Mediterranean-style residence. Handcrafted in Marrakech, Morocco, circa 1980s. Maker unknown. Materials include clear glass and hand-worked pierced metal with a bronze-color finish. Sold as a matching pair. Presented in good vintage condition with wear, patina and minor surface variations consistent with age, use and traditional artisanal construction. The electrical systems have been updated in the United States. Slight irregularities in the metalwork and glass placement reflect their handmade character. A dramatic pair of vintage Moroccan lanterns offering both functional illumination and sculptural presence.

A beautifully handcrafted vintage Moroccan Moorish lantern featuring jewel-toned multicolor glass set within an intricately pierced metal framework. Made by skilled artisans in Marrakech, Morocco, circa 1980, this decorative lantern combines traditional Moroccan metalworking with amber, emerald green, lavender, cobalt and pale blue glass to create a richly atmospheric piece of North African lighting. The lantern has a distinctive faceted geometric form, measuring 18 inches high overall and 8.5 inches wide and deep. Its architectural silhouette is composed of multiple angled sections, with colored and textured glass panels alternating with pierced metalwork. The upper and lower sections are particularly attractive, featuring openwork geometric Moorish patterns designed to allow light to escape through the metalwork. When illuminated from within, the combination of translucent colored glass and pierced metal can produce a warm jewel-like glow while projecting subtle patterns of light and shadow onto nearby walls and ceilings. The effect is characteristic of traditional Moroccan lighting and makes the lantern especially appealing for interiors where atmospheric illumination is important. A small hinged door provides access to the interior. The lantern is currently not wired for electricity. It may be displayed with an appropriate candle or LED candle, or professionally wired for electrical use by a qualified electrician in accordance with local requirements. The upper hanging loop allows the piece to be suspended as a Moroccan pendant lantern or decorative hanging light. Its relatively compact scale also makes it particularly versatile for an entryway, powder room, bedroom, reading alcove or grouped installation. It can also be incorporated into a wall-mounted installation with suitable professional hardware. The combination of aged metal and colored glass gives the lantern the collected character particularly desirable in Moroccan, Moorish, Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial and eclectic interiors. It also provides a strong artisanal counterpoint within contemporary spaces, where its sculptural geometry and jewel-toned glass can function almost as a suspended decorative object. Handcrafted in Marrakech, Morocco, circa 1980. Dimensions: Overall height from upper loop through lower finial: 18 in. Width: 8.5 in. Depth: 8.5 in. Lantern body / glass shade: approximately 12 in. H × 8.5 in. W. Condition: Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. The aged metal surface contributes to its authentic vintage character. Not currently wired for electricity.
