French Style Cargo Lantern Pendant Light Fitting

Somehow French tool and instrument makers know how to add a little molding here, a nick or twist there. Here it results in a product of unsurpassed elegance and appeal. Our French Cargo lantern was used during expeditions of the French Colonial Army while quartered in Tahiti, Saigon, Casablanca, Martinique. The reason that only a few original brass utilitarian colonial objects can be found these days is that most were melted down during WWII. This French lantern creates a real statement and is made of solid brass and copper throughout. 36cm shade diameter, 42.5cm fitting height.
