Stained Glass and Metal Hanging Lantern

This item is a decorative hanging lantern, likely of early-to-mid 20th-century design with Mediterranean or Moorish revival influences. The lantern features an elongated octagonal body constructed with leaded glass panels. The central sections consist of clear glass, while the upper and lower beveled tiers are accented with amber-colored textured stained glass. The metal framework appears to be made of patinated brass or iron, showcasing a dark, aged finish. It terminates in a tiered, bulbous finial at the bottom and a matching cap at the top, suspended by a set of three metal chains. Notably, the internal lighting mechanism appears compromised, as an external modern light bulb on a loose wire is currently hanging beside the fixture rather than being integrated inside. There is visible surface oxidation on the metal components and dust accumulation on the glass surfaces. The craftsmanship suggests a mid-tier decorative piece rather than high-end custom lighting, often seen in residential foyers or solariums. The soldering is relatively uniform, though some minor misalignment in the leading is visible. No maker's marks are immediately apparent from the exterior.
