Made in England in the twenty-first century, this large gilt brass lantern is worked in the Gothic taste. The design draws on Gothic architectural vocabulary, with the pointed forms and tracery-like detailing associated with that style, executed at a substantial scale in gilt brass. As a modern production, the lantern combines the decorative character of a period design with sound contemporary construction and wiring suited to current use. The gilt brass gives a warm, reflective finish appropriate to a formal interior. Designed as a hanging fixture, the lantern is suited to an entrance hall, stairwell, or a position over a dining or hall table, where its scale and detailing make it a focal point. The Gothic styling allows it to work within traditional and ecclesiastical-influenced interiors, while the generous proportions give it presence in a room with good ceiling height.
