Hanging lights and lanterns are not just for foyers anymore. Hanging lights and lanterns are the new trend in creating a stylish interior or exterior space. A series of hanging lantern light fixtures over a kitchen table or counter top or in your dining room is a growing alternative to the traditional chandelier. A linear affect or varying heights allows you to create a unique space from a wide variety of styles while allowing you to evenly distribute light over your table top surface that will eliminate shadowing. Our handcrafted hanging lanterns come in copper or brass with several aging processes applied to give rich, interesting patinas allowing you to design a space that is not bound to the traditional polished brass and nickels that most chandeliers are cast. The custom design capabilities allow you to choose glass and light cluster options. You can order the lanterns in any size. You can choose to hang the lantern with a chain or have them surface mounted. All lanterns can be hung inside or out. Or we can custom design a lantern from scratch to meet your needs. Some custom features allow us to hide a down light in the top of the lantern or at the bottom of the lantern. This extra light along with the candelabra sockets will give you the best of both worlds by accenting and focusing architectural down spread lighting to accent your table. Some of our best sellers are H1076G, H2756G, H2761G, H1083CL, H2419G and H1096G. All of them would be a great chance to add sophisticated style to any room. You can hang the lanterns up further from the table or counter top to accommodate lower ceiling heights. For an average 8” table you can hang 2 larger lanterns like the H2764G or hang 3 smaller lanterns like the H2404G for a simplistic, modern look. We will be glad to help you with sizing and offer recommendations on how many lanterns would look best in a given space. Feel free to contact us about any of your custom lighting questions!
