This unique hanging lantern was once an incense burning sanctuary lamp, and is made of brass sporting a beautiful patina. The French antique piece dates back to the 19th century and is embellished with hand-chiseled Moorish designs on the large bottom half, and angelic faces with wings at center. Since its conversion to electricity, the piece plays host to three lights. It is suspended from a smaller bell-shaped crown by three chains and finally ends with a double finial at the bottom.
