Venice is not just any old, fabled city. Its history goes back over a thousand years. Venetian fleets sailed out and traded with Damascus, Cyprus, and Constantinople. Mansions back home were decorated in a multitude of styles brought back by merchants like Marco Polo.

A pair of our little Venetian lanterns at one time lighted the gate and courtyard of a mansion on the Grand Canal. The style is 16th Century Ottoman, but the owner's crest molded on its cage-door shows it was designed and made in Venice. Surely it was inspired by the art and architecture encountered in far away exotic lands. Swinging from a matching bracket our Venice lantern will enthrall, enthuse and impress. A pair to light a doorway, an entrance, a line of five, six, to light a hallway or vaulted passage.

Measures 7" x 7" x 13.5".
