Know before you buy
No, this lantern is not designed for year-round outdoor exposure. You should bring it indoors during winter months or inclement weather, and avoid using it in temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
This lantern is specifically designed to hold a single standard votive candle. The interior dimensions are optimized for this size to ensure safe and balanced illumination.
Because each piece is hand-painted and crafted by hand, you should expect unique variations in the finish. These slight differences are intentional and contribute to the individual character of your specific lantern.
Maintenance is straightforward; simply wipe the iron and glass surfaces clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers to preserve the hand-painted finish.
No assembly is required. The lantern arrives ready to use right out of the box; simply place your votive candle inside and it is ready for display.
