This early twentieth-century Moravian star hanging lantern originates from England and dates to 1920. The piece takes the form of a twelve-point geometric star constructed from clear bevelled glass panels secured within a soldered brass frame. One conical section features an ingeniously hinged glass panel to allow access to the internal brass lamp-holder. The top terminates in an integral suspension loop attached to a short brass chain, and the frame exhibits an aged brass patina alongside a minor surface bruise to one glass panel. It measures 52 cm high, 52 cm wide and 52 cm deep. Position this pendant light in an entrance hall, staircase landing or dining room to introduce a warm and ambient glow to an interior scheme. The clear glass and metal construction diffuses light effectively while maintaining an airy visual profile overhead. It integrates naturally into traditional or English country house interiors as a statement overhead lighting fixture. The wiring arrives fully tested for immediate installation and use in a domestic setting.

A Moravian star lantern is a geometric light fixture featuring a multi-pointed star shape, originating from nineteenth-century Herrnhut, Germany, where it began as a geometry lesson before becoming a traditional lighting style.

These fixtures are constructed using individual faceted or bevelled glass panels held together within a leaded or soldered brass frame, suspended from a brass canopy and chain.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-soldered brass joins, thick bevelled glass panes, naturally aged metal patination, and original threaded lamp holders rather than modern clip-in assemblies.

Position the lantern as a central focal point in an entryway, hallway, or stairwell to project geometric light patterns and add architectural detail to contemporary spaces.

Dust the exterior facets regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply glass cleaner directly to the cloth rather than the fixture to avoid moisture seeping into soldered frame joints.
