Lanterns in San Miguel de Allende

I love the scroll support on the iron. Interesting curls have been added to adorn this lantern in need of repair. I wish San Miguel would go back to gas light lanterns.

From Spanish, Moorish, Spanish Revival, Colonial, Gothic,Contemporary, Art and Crafts, Italian and French. In San Miguel there is a lantern above almost every doorway.
Most of the lanterns are in need or repair. Not an easy thing to do since most they are hanging from peculiar places. What's more interesting than the actual lantern is the iron or wood angels used to support the lanterns.

Twist, twist and twist Spanish Revival style with green glass.

The angel iron support gives these otherwise plain lantern dimention and sets it off the wall.

Made from rin and frosted glass. This lantern looks like a Catherdral.

Typical overall shaped lantern but the rod coming out of the bottom adds interest and picks up the twisted iron work found in the framed squares.

An Elaborate hatched iron work angel reaches out and displays the mellow box shaped lantern.
