Italian 'Pagoda' Pendant

An extraordinary ‘Pagoda’ Pendant produced in Italy, circa 1925. Crafted from finely cast bronze with blue stained-glass panels, the lantern reflects the fashionable 'Cineseria' aesthetic of the period. Inspired by East Asian pagoda architecture, it features a tiered roof, sweeping eaves, and finely cast decorative detailing. Particularly notable is the original suspension chain, composed of decorative cast links incorporating stylised Oriental-inspired motifs that further enhance the pendant’s exotic character. Elegant, sculptural, and highly decorative, this rare lantern is a fine example of early twentieth-century Italian lighting design.

Height 1300mm (including chain)

Diameter 350mm
