Turning the past into stunning decor for today." This monumental Mid-Century Pagoda Lantern is a masterclass in Palm Beach Regency glamour. Meticulously reimagined by Turtle and Crane, the piece features a crisp, high-gloss white finish that serves as a canvas for the exquisite parcel gilt hand-detailing on the faux bamboo nodes. Evoking the sophisticated, theatrical interiors of Tony Duquette and the bold elegance of Dorothy Draper, this piece also nods to the Mid-Century Chinoiserie mastery of James Mont. The architectural lantern form is synonymous with the high-end resort style of Maitland-Smith and the curated garden aesthetic of Mario Buatta. This lantern bridges the gap between historic Chinoiserie and 2026's Modern Heritage aesthetic. Whether anchoring a grand entryway or illuminating a high-gloss dining room, it brings a sophisticated, sculptural weight to the space.
