Know before you buy
Because each lantern is individually crafted by hand, you should expect slight variations in texture, color, and size. These unique characteristics are intentional and reflect the artist's organic design process.
We strongly recommend that this fixture be installed by a licensed electrician to ensure it is safely mounted and properly wired to your ceiling.
No, this lantern is strictly designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the ceramic material and electrical components.
The lantern comes with a 40W E26 G25 transparent glass incandescent bulb. The fixture is compatible with bulbs up to a maximum of 60W.
To maintain the finish, simply wipe the ceramic shade with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can affect the texture and surface of the piece.
The lantern features a 71-inch 3-wire cable. While the length is generous, any adjustments to the cable length should be handled by your electrician during the installation process.
