Hanging Lantern, from the Hallway of the Robert R. Blacker House, Pasadena, California c. 1908-9 Charles Sumner Greene Henry Mather Greene glass made by Emil Lange

St. Louis Art Museum:

This hanging lantern is one of six made for the main hall of the Robert R. Blacker residence in Pasadena, California, one of the "ultimate bungalows" that the brothers Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene designed for affluent clients. The architects worked closely with the craftsmen Emil Lange, a glass artisan, and Peter Hall, who built the lantern's teak housing. The wavy cloudscape and birds in the glass panels provide a contrast with the rectilinear form of the Blacker residence, while the amber iridescent glass would cast a warm glow consistent with the golden palette of the house's interior. The lantern's canopy mimics the building's broad, overhanging roof. The virtuoso craftsmanship of its modeled hood, Asian motifs, leaded glass, ebony plugs, copper and silver inlays, and exotic wood are all decorative elements that distinguish the Greene brothers' designs within the American Arts and Crafts movement.
