Decorative Candle Lantern for Indoor and Outdoor Table Settings

The main light in most Egyptian sitting rooms is one white rectangle in the ceiling, and it flattens everything underneath it.

What Are the Key Features of This Lantern With a Candle Included?

• The wall around the flame is the whole point - it keeps the breeze off a balcony candle and keeps a passing sleeve off the flame on a dinner table.
• It arrives with its candle in it - ready to light, rather than a frame you then have to find the right diameter of candle to fit.
• Made for indoors and outdoors - it is sold for both, and that is what lets one object move between the sitting room and the balcony rail.
• A flame you can walk away from - the enclosure is what makes it reasonable to leave it burning while you go to the kitchen, which is never true of a bare candle.
• Light at table height - a low contained flame changes a room in a way one white ceiling panel cannot, without touching the wiring.

Where Can You Use This Candle Lantern?

• On a balcony rail on a still evening
• On a dinner table, between two dishes
• In a bathroom that has no window
• Standing in a row along a terrace wall when the family comes over
• Carried from the sitting room to the balcony without cupping a hand round the flame

Why Choose a Lantern Over a Bare Candle for Wax Control?

• The wax stays in the base - a bare candle runs wax onto whatever it stands on; here the floor of the lantern catches it.
• The first candle is your gauge - keep it to match a replacement against when it burns down.
• Buy more than one for a gathering - a row of them along a terrace wall is what the family sees on the way in.

Material & Build

• A lantern is judged almost entirely on what its wall is made of.
• Glass, wire mesh and a painted frame with glazed panels behave in three different ways around a live flame: glass shows the light and stays cool on the outside, thin metal takes the heat and hands it down to whatever surface it is standing on, and a lacquered finish will mark if the flame sits too close. Settle it from the photographs.

What's in the Set

• The lantern and its candle, supplied together and ready to light.
• Treat that one as the starter, and expect to buy replacements.

Dimensions

• Height is what decides whether it belongs on a low table or on the floor beside one, and the width of the opening decides whether your hand and a lighter both still fit inside once the candle has burned down.

Colours

• No colour variants are sold.

Care

• If the base is going onto a wooden table, put something under it the first time you burn it - thin metal hands heat down to whatever it stands on.
