Mini Dark Lacquered Tin Lantern

Product Description

Add historic charm to your home with this Mini Dark Lacquered Tin Lantern! Hang the lantern from the included ring on top or place it on a table or shelf.  The lantern features a punched hole design that allows light to shine through, casting a subtle pattern on surrounding objects. The front of the lantern opens on hinges with a latch closure, and inside is a candle holder that fits a small taper candle. For use indoors or in an outdoor protected area. We recommend using battery operated candles in this lantern. (Candles are not included.) Measures 6.5"H x 2.5" diameter. Imported.

Inspiration

In a time before electricity, lanterns were the colonial-era equivalent to flashlights today. In the Historic Area of Colonial Williamsburg you can see lanterns at use on buildings, carried by our Actor Interpreters, and even on our carriages.
