Like other copper fixtures, copper lanterns are a great addition to your home or business because they are the perfect balance of aesthetic appeal and practicality. Copper’s unique aging process through the development of the patina creates a beautiful look that never goes out of style, while the copper and glass construction of these gorgeous lanterns will stand up to the elements and continue to provide light much longer than alternative lighting structures.

Copper lanterns can be fueled by gas, propane, or even electricity, although the flame provided by the propane or gas will produce a more authentic aging effect.

Are Copper Lanterns Right for Me?

Whether copper lanterns are the best choice for your home or business depends on your needs, however there are a myriad of potential uses for copper lanterns. Some of the most popular uses are listed below:

Patio Lighting: Make your patio a great place to spend warm spring and summer nights with copper lanterns to complete the décor while providing light for your family and guests. Mounted, hanging, or on brackets, gas lanterns are a great lighting solution for the patio or other outdoor areas of your home. Restaurant Lighting: Hotels and restaurants with outdoor seating often use copper gas lanterns to create a romantic and intimate ambiance for their patrons. Adjustable flames are a standard component of all lanterns, enabling hoteliers and restaurateurs to choose the perfect amount of light for their needs. Outdoor lighting scheme: To create a completely unique look for your outdoor area, consider consulting a decorator who can help design a lighting system that uses a combination of lights and lanterns to create a softer glow.

Why Hand Made is Best

As you shop for a lantern – make sure to look for those that are hand made in the USA as opposed to shipped in from other countries.   Generally speaking you will find these lanterns in a variety of styles, shapes and finishes as well as a wide range of sizes – and you can be assured that not only is your lantern the highest quality, it will uniquely suit your needs and be a truly one of a kind addition to your home or office.

Choose the lighting that will make a statement; choose copper gas lanterns for a look that can’t be beat.
