California architect brothers Charles and Henry Greene, like their Midwestern contemporary Frank Lloyd Wright, developed a style now recognized as a California variant of the Arts and Crafts movement. Like Wright, Greene and Greene designed or selected the furnishings for their commissions. The results were buildings remarkable for their unity of design and high quality of craftsmanship. This lantern was included in the furnishings of the James Culbertson House in Pasadena, California, a 1904 Greene and Greene commission. The house was remodeled by the firm multiple times; this lantern dates to the first renovation.
