Mercury Ship Lantern

This design was created for the Golden Age Pirate reenacting group, The Crew of the Mercury. It is very similar to thte Kate’s Round Lantern, but has a wire carrying ring. This change makes the lantern easier to pack for travel and is more accurate for 16th-17th century lantern styles than the later flat tin rings.

• 18” tall and 7.5” in diameter

• Red painted finish

• Amber-colored lampshade mica panes to simulate horn.

• The finish is intended to resemble a lantern that has been used and repainted multiple times, with visible brushstrokes and imperfections.
