An Antique wall lantern on a projecting scroll is the fitting to open when a porch, a side return, or a gate pier face needs the glass clear of the plaster. Padma casts these in aluminium at the Aligarh works. The product page names the finish Antique. Our gate-pillar note calls the same wipe antique gold, warm on the high points of the casting and darker in the recesses. When a drawing says gold or brass, write Antique. The catalogue has no brass code. Catalogue finishes are Antique, Matte Black, Raw Grey and Green. Flat plates and the rest of the wall family are on the wall lights page. Sizes below are the product-page figures in inches, height first and width second.
Reading height, width and the arm
Each of these pages includes a front dimension drawing. The first number is the height of that drawing, from the bottom of the casting to the top. The second number is the width across the same view, lantern and scrolls included. PWL 1073 is 16×8, 16 inches tall and 8 inches wide. PWL 2555 is 22×12, so it covers more wall both upward and across.
Depth off the plaster is a separate reading. The drawing does not print it in millimetres. The stand-off is the scroll or arm in the product photograph. On an open porch that arm holds the glass away from the wall. In a narrow passage the same arm can meet a shoulder or a gate leaf. Measure the clear walking width and send it with the code, so the works can check the arm in the photograph against that width. The second size figure records spread across the wall. Projection into the passage is the arm in the photograph.
Hold the height against whatever sits above the fitting. PWL 2513 at 26 inches needs that much clear wall, plus room for the fixings, before it meets a beam or a sunshade. PWL 1074 at 11 inches still fits when the porch soffit is close above the door. Hold the width against the pier face. When the drawing is nearly as wide as the surface, the scrolls sit close to the edges, so photograph the surface with a tape and put the measurement beside the code.
These Antique wall pages do not show a mounting bracket as a priced extra. The catalogue stores a bracket figure of 0 on each code in this note, so the product page offers the fitting alone, the lantern and the scroll in the photograph. If the site needs a different arm, say so before the quote is fixed.
One elevation, three places
Walk one house the road sees in a single view. A covered porch at the front door, a side wall along the drive, and a gate pier. Keep Antique on all three so the wipe matches from the road. Where to put the centre of the lantern on the wall is a separate mark, set out in where to mark a wall lantern. The notes below choose the body for each place.
Porch
The beam decides the code. PWL 1074, 11×9, is a hexagonal glass lantern on a curved scroll arm, the shortest body here. Open it when the soffit sits close over the door. Where the wall beside the door has more clear height, PWL 1073 at 16×8 is a taller cage on a scroll with a backplate, and the drawing is narrower across the wall than 1074. PWL 1077, 16×7, is a vintage cage on a curved arm, slightly narrower again. The arm holds the glass off the plaster where people pass close with bags.
Side wall
People move along this face, so passage width matters more than a beam. PWL 2504, 12×6, is a small lantern on a simpler curved arm, for a side passage where shoulders pass the fitting. On a tall side wall that should still read from the gate, PWL 1076 at 22×8 is a slender body with an ornate scroll arm, and PWL 2513 at 26×8 is longer, with a wide scroll and a glass chimney. PWL 2558 at 18×8 sits between those heights, a traditional lantern on a scrolled arm. Check the arm in the photograph against the walking width you measured.
Gate pier face
Fix the lantern to the vertical face of the pier. A head that stands on the cap belongs with the gate lights. Measure the pier face and set the width figure beside it. PWL 2555, 22×12, is a large scrolled frame with glass panels, the widest code here, and it needs plaster still visible at each side of those 12 inches. PWL 2812, 17×8, is an open cage with a leaf scroll, narrow enough for a slim pier. Finish for a pair of pillar heads is in matte black or antique gold. A long repeated run is the subject of compound wall lights.
Five Antique codes side by side
The table keeps the five codes that cover the three places above. Open the product page before the code goes onto a drawing, and use the dimension image there, since a cropped photograph hides the arm.
| Code | Size (inches, H × W) | When the projection suits |
|---|---|---|
| PWL 1074 | 11×9 | Low porch under a close soffit. Short hexagonal lantern on a curved scroll arm. |
| PWL 1073 | 16×8 | Porch wall with more height beside the door. Taller cage on a scroll and backplate. |
| PWL 2504 | 12×6 | Narrow side passage. Small lantern on a simpler curved arm. |
| PWL 2513 | 26×8 | Tall side wall the street should still read. Longest body in this shortlist. |
| PWL 2555 | 22×12 | Broad gate-pier face. Widest frame here. Compare 12 inches with the measured pier. |
If those five miss the wall
PWL 2507 is 18×8, a vintage lantern on a decorative bracket, for a porch between 1074 and 1076 in height. PWL 2511 is 16×7, a classic lantern on a bracket, the same drawing size as 1077 with a different cage. PWL 2519 (22×9) and PWL 2525 (22×8) are ornate lanterns on scroll brackets, and 2519 is the wider across the front drawing. PWL 2562 is 17×6.5 and throws light upward from a bowl on a bracket. Use it where the wall above the fitting should take the light. A lantern cage at the door stays with the codes in the table. Further Antique codes, including PWL 2518, PWL 2523, PWL 2554 and PWL 2566, plus Matte Black, Raw Grey and Green, are on the wall lights page. Check each photograph for a projecting arm before the code goes on a drawing. How the wipe is put on, and how coastal salt and desert dust sit on it, is in powder coat and antique finish.
Placing the order
Trade pricing starts once the order reaches 10 pieces. From 100 pieces the works prices the lot as a project. One to five pieces stay on the list price printed on the product page. Packing is ₹40 a piece. For delivery inside India, GST at 18 percent is worked on the goods and the packing together. Transport is quoted on its own before dispatch from Aligarh. Billing is in rupees, ex-works. The holder is B22 unless the quote names another. Ask in the same message if a lamp should be packed. Courier timing sits on the shipping page.
Send the code, the place it goes (porch, side wall or pier face), the clear wall height, the width of that surface, and the city. A photograph with a tape in frame saves a round of questions. WhatsApp +91 70176 62533. The same codes are photographed in the 2026 catalogue PDF.
Questions from the trade desk
- Is Antique the gold wall bracket named on a drawing?
- The product page calls the finish Antique. The gate-pillar note calls the same wipe antique gold, warm on the raised casting and darker in the recesses. Write Antique on the quote when the drawing says gold or brass. The catalogue does not carry a brass SKU.
- Does 16 by 8 mean the lantern stands 8 inches off the wall?
- On PWL 1073 the figure 16×8 means the front drawing is 16 inches high and 8 inches wide. That drawing does not give a depth off the plaster. Read the arm in the photograph for the stand-off, and send the clear width of the passage with the code.
- Why is there no mounting-bracket line on these pages?
- The catalogue stores a bracket price of 0 on these Antique wall codes, so the page does not offer a bracket as an add-on. The order is the fitting in the photograph, scroll and lantern together. Ask before the quote is fixed if the arm itself has to change.
