Know before you buy
Yes, the lantern is included as part of the sculpture. It is fully functional and designed to hold a light source to illuminate your garden or pathway.
Yes, the piece is constructed from durable aluminum, which is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. It is specifically designed to withstand outdoor garden conditions.
The sculpture weighs 7.4 lbs and has a base footprint of 13 inches by 9.5 inches. While it is stable on flat surfaces, we recommend placing it on a level patio, stone, or deck to ensure it remains secure.
Because the lantern is part of a metal sculpture, we recommend using a battery-operated LED candle or a solar-powered light insert. These options provide a safe, flicker-free glow without the need for open flames or electrical wiring.
Aluminum is low-maintenance, but you can keep the finish looking its best by occasionally rinsing it with water to remove dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they may damage the protective finish.
