Turtleback Hanging Lantern

This Turtleback Hanging Lantern with Swirls was commissioned by a client in California. The lantern has emerald green turtleback tiles and a door on the bottom to let light shine below. The heavy bronze casting is created at our studio using the lost wax casting method using molds taken off a Tiffany Studios original. The completed lantern has a distinctive, period look.

Upon receiving the completed lantern, the client wrote (in part), "The lantern is here and is truly excellent...Nice patina."
