Know before you buy
This lantern is designed specifically for indoor use. While it features a durable metal construction, it is not rated for weather resistance and should be kept away from outdoor elements.
The lantern accommodates standard pillar candles. Given the 5.75-inch width of the base, a pillar candle with a diameter of 3 to 4 inches will provide the best aesthetic balance and safety clearance.
Yes, because the lantern is made entirely of metal, the structure can become warm to the touch if you use a real flame. We recommend using an LED pillar candle to keep the exterior cool and safe for households with children or pets.
The lantern features a hinged door or an accessible panel design, allowing you to easily place and light your candle or position your LED light without needing to disassemble the piece.
The navy finish is a refined, smooth coating that leans towards a matte or satin sheen rather than a high-gloss finish. This gives it a more authentic, vintage-inspired look that fits well with coastal or nautical decor.
