19th-Century Heritage Design Meets Intricate Decorative Ironwork
A majestic celebration of classical craftsmanship, the Metropolitan Lantern Chandelier by Bowielight is modeled after a historic 19th-century six-sided original. Exquisitely cast with detailed metalworking techniques, this hexagonal lantern features a finely contoured iron frame crowned with ornate floral embellishments and a sweeping leaf-like top coronet. Enclosed in clear glass panes, its internal candelabra cluster radiates a brilliant, 360-degree ambient illumination that casts a warm, stately presence across high-volume interiors.
Commanding Vertical Proportions for Vaulted Entryways & Formal Salons
Offered in a 17.1-inch diameter (35.8-inch height) and an expansive 22-inch diameter (48-inch height) silhouette, the Metropolitan Lantern brings historic grandeur and architectural weight to grand architectural spaces. Supported by a matching 12-inch suspension chain, it hangs with poise over grand stairwells, double-height foyers, and formal dining tables. Outfitted with universal E12/E14 sockets and available in Gold Leaf, Antique Bronze, and Graphic Black finishes paired with Crystal-Clear Glass, it serves as a captivating centerpiece for classic, traditional, and quiet luxury interiors.
