Choosing an outdoor pedestal lantern for a gate pier, entrance court, or terrace column involves more than finding something that looks right in a catalogue. The finish has to survive outdoor exposure, the IP rating has to be suitable for the location, and the proportions have to read well at scale — especially on a large post or plinth where an undersized fitting simply disappears.
IP44 is the specification threshold that matters for most covered or partially exposed outdoor positions. It means the fitting is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and against water splashing from any direction — adequate for a sheltered entrance or porch canopy, though not for fully exposed coastal positions or direct rainfall zones where a higher rating would be more appropriate. The E27 lampholder is a standard Edison-screw format, accepting a wide range of bulbs up to 60W, including LED equivalents — and for this design, an Edison-style filament bulb is the specification choice that completes the visual intent.
The Quintiesse Grant Large Pedestal Lantern is a single-light exterior fitting from Belgian brand Quintiesse, designed around the proportions and craft details of a traditional carriage lantern but resolved with a notably clean, modern hand. The rectangular housing is glazed with clear seeded glass — glass with small integrated air bubbles that scatter and soften the light from within — framed in durable aluminium with a painted Burnished Bronze finish. The roof profile is a concave sweeping curve that tapers to a flat crown, topped with an oversized fixed handle that anchors the silhouette and gives the fitting its architectural presence. IP44 rated.
The design sits confidently between traditional and contemporary: the seeded glass and bronze finish carry heritage cues, while the roof geometry and clean frame lines keep it firmly of the present. The Burnished Bronze finish has a subtle brushed texture that reads as considered and restrained rather than ornate. There are no finish or size variants listed for this product — what you see is a single, resolved specification.
The Grant takes one E27 lamp (not included) rated to a maximum of 60W, or an LED equivalent. An Edison-style filament bulb is recommended to complement the seeded glass effect. The fitting is supplied with a 3-year anti-corrosion warranty — note that this warranty excludes installations within 5 miles of the coastline, so for seafront or near-coastal properties in Mallorca, please factor this into your specification decision. The flared base is pre-drilled for surface or post mounting.
At Lightsource Mallorca, we work through the specification details that are easy to overlook — warranty exclusion zones, lamp compatibility, IP rating suitability for your exact position — so the right product reaches the right place without surprises on site. The Quintiesse Grant is a considered specification choice for entrance and boundary lighting where presence, finish quality, and practical longevity all need to align.
