The Old Athens Pendant Collection: Neoclassical Grace & Romantic Radiance
Introduce an enchanting blend of European charm, refined geometry, and chic architectural luxury to your property with the Old Athens Chain-Hung Copper Pendant Lantern. Inspired by the timeless elegance of classical antiquities and old-world estates, this fixture represents sophisticated lighting at its finest. Defined by its unique, scalloped rooflines and gracefully tapered silhouette, the Old Athens lantern brings an atmosphere of elite, harbor-like comfort and exquisite warmth to your custom home layout.
Individually Handcrafted in the USA
When quality matters and only the best will do, the Old Athens collection delivers an exceptional standard of elite metalwork. Each piece is individually handcrafted in the USA by custom design specialists who cut, shape, and finish the heavy-gauge copper completely by hand. Built as an heirloom-grade investment, this masterfully structured lantern is engineered with flawless durability to bring high-end artistic character to your property for generations.
Captivating Artistry & Chic Profile
The Old Athens sets a new standard for luxury design, balancing historical architectural cues with a whimsical, high-fashion presentation:
The Whimsical Scalloped Canopy: The defining hallmark of this lantern is its exquisitely detailed scalloped edge tracing the roofline. This wave-like valance breaks up traditional rigid lines, offering a soft, romantic, and distinctly European aesthetic that captures and plays with the ascending internal light.
Tapered Precision & Textural Depth: Featuring an inverted pyramid frame that tapers smoothly toward the base, the fixture naturally opens up the top view to highlight its brilliant internal candelabra cluster. When paired with textured glass (as pictured), it refracts the light into a dancing, starry glow that washes over your room.
Versatile Chain-Hung Majesty: Suspended from a structural loop and heavy-gauge decorative chain, this pendant is designed to float effortlessly as a high-impact centerpiece. It transforms transition spaces with ease—serving beautifully as a high-end kitchen island light, an elegant addition above a dining table, or an inviting beacon in an entryway.
Tailored to Your Design Palette
We believe elite illumination should conform precisely to your home's unique design language. The Old Athens collection offers a limitless suite of personalized options:
Authentic Power Configurations: Curate your perfect light density with multiple electric Edison and Candelabra clusters (pictured), or choose traditional gas lighting options for a living, flickering natural flame.
Unlimited Finish Colors: Personalize the premium copper chassis with unlimited finish color choices—from the deep, antiqued pewter/dark silver finish pictured, to a brilliant living copper, rich oiled bronze, or a crisp architectural matte black.
Premium Glass Varieties: Customize the texture of your illumination with numerous glass selections, including Clear, Seedy (pictured), Antique, Water, Mirror, Frosted, or No Glass for an ultra-clean look.
Adaptable Mounting Options: While engineered to hang gracefully as a ceiling pendant, the Old Athens frame adapts flawlessly to your layout with options for stone pier or column mounts, post mounts, and flush wall mounts.
Proportional Scaling: Available in an array of standard sizes from Mini to Triple Grande, alongside fully custom design sizes tailored to your precise interior space or exterior pillars.

St. James Lights are called “lifetime fixtures” because when you purchase a St. James Lantern or Chandelier, you are making an investment that will last a lifetime and will be the last light fixtures you will ever need to buy. Each light is individually hand-crafted and inspected to ensure that you receive the highest quality lantern or chandelier available anywhere in the world.
Elegant Looks and Beauty:
Designed and engineered to set the standard for elegant lighting, St. James Lights increase in beauty as the copper ages.
Durability and Longevity:
St. James Lighting are made from the best copper mined in the U.S., which has a projected life of 300 years. Less expensive zinc or aluminum metals are not used. Expensive copper brazing rods are used versus cheaper soldering methods and an expensive riveting machine is used versus cheaper and faster pop rivet methods used by many.
