Fès Green Glass Lantern with Copper Frame

In the ancient medina of Fès, master craftsmen shape molten glass into vessels of light, their tools tracing delicate patterns that have adorned Moroccan homes for centuries. This emerald lantern emerges from their workshops with the deep glow of forest glass, its copper frame catching and reflecting each flicker of candlelight.

What Makes It Special

• Rich green glass with natural variations that create depth and movement in every angle of light
• Hand-etched patterns that cast intricate shadows and transform walls into galleries of dancing light
• Solid copper construction that develops a warm, living patina as it ages in your home
• Versatile display options for wall mounting or ceiling suspension

The Craft Behind It

Each lantern begins with locally sourced copper, hammered and shaped by hand in the workshops of Fès medina. The artisan carefully fits the emerald glass panels, then etches traditional geometric motifs using techniques passed down through generations. The copper frame is assembled without welding, relying instead on the metalworker's precision and traditional joinery methods that allow the piece to expand and contract naturally.

Care Instructions

Wipe the glass gently with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its clarity. The copper will naturally develop patina over time—embrace this transformation, or polish occasionally with lemon juice and salt to restore its original gleam. Use only LED candles or low-wattage bulbs to preserve the glass and metalwork.
