Description from the seller
Grand hexagonal ceiling lantern in Napoleon III style, made in the second half of the 20th century following the French models of lanterns that enjoyed great popularity during the Second Empire. With a generous width of 34 cm, this piece stands out for its balanced proportions and the understated elegance of its architectural design, conceived to provide presence and brightness to reception spaces, galleries, lobbies, or living rooms.
The structure is made of metal with a bronze-gold finish and features a hexagonal body formed by wide panels of transparent glass that allow for a uniform diffusion of light. The framework is articulated by straight uprights topped with small decorative pinnacles, while the upper part develops a delicate open dome with curved lines that softens the overall look and adds a refined sense of visual lightness.
Inside it houses a three-light system arranged in a central layout, evoking the appearance of old candles and reinforcing the historical character of the piece. The transparency of the crystals lets you see the interior structure, creating interesting reflections and multiplying the lighting effect when illuminated.
Inspired by the lantern models used in bourgeois and palatial French residences of the 19th century, this example combines the aesthetic richness of the Napoleon III style with restrained and elegant decoration that facilitates its integration in both classical settings and eclectic interiors or those with a traditional inspiration. The warm tone of the metal and the geometric purity of the structure turn this large lantern into a decorative piece of notable personality, capable of acting as a focal point in any room thanks to its architectural presence and the timeless quality of its design.
Certified shipping and careful packaging.
