Here is a large hanging lantern that will be the envy of every camp or exhibit around you. This huge, handmade tin lantern is my interpretation of a lantern depicted in a 1645 painting and is unlike any other hanging lantern I have made.

  • 22 inches tall, including the ring, and 10.5 inches in diameter.

  • Amber or lite-colored lampshade mica panes to simulate horn.

  • Antiqued, black, or red finish.

  • The candle cup inside the lantern is sized for a pillar candle.

This sizable 17th-century style lantern is based on a lantern depicted in "Guardroom with the Deliverance of St. Peter" by David Teniers the Younger, circa 1645.

Each lantern is made one at a time, and there WILL be small differences in finish and construction for each lantern.

“I have purchased the weathered naval lantern and guard room lantern. My first purchase was the naval lantern and I was so pleased with a quality and construction that I decided I needed to have more… While these lanterns are very light in weight, they are very sturdy and well constructed. Excellent solder joints. When the huge (!) guard room lantern arrived. I was extremely pleased to see that you have options to burn either one candle at a time or three. I also very much appreciate the accommodation to ship the lantern so it arrived on time for a special event.”
