Handcrafted Moroccan lanterns in solid brass with intricate geometric cutwork that projects patterned light across any space. Available as hanging lanterns for covered porches, entryways, and dining areas, or as freestanding tabletop lanterns for mantels and side tables. Each lantern is hand-punched and soldered in our workshop — the pierced metalwork creates a warm ambient glow through hundreds of tiny openings. Available in polished brass, antique bronze, and oxidized silver finishes. Ships wired for US/European standard — ready to hang.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — our brass lanterns work beautifully on covered porches, patios, and pergolas. Brass naturally develops a patina when exposed to moisture, which many customers prefer. For fully exposed outdoor areas, we recommend bringing lanterns inside during heavy rain or snow. All hanging lanterns include mounting hardware for covered ceiling installation.
Most of our lanterns use standard E26 (medium base) sockets, compatible with any standard US light bulb. We recommend warm-white LED bulbs (2700K) for the best ambiance. Edison-style filament bulbs also look stunning through the geometric cutwork. Maximum wattage varies by lantern size — check each product listing for specifications.
For regular dusting, use a soft dry cloth. To restore shine on polished brass, apply a brass cleaner like Brasso with a soft cloth and buff gently. For oxidized or antique finishes, simply dust — these finishes are designed to have a weathered look. Never use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as they can scratch the metalwork.
For entryways and porches, 12-16 inch lanterns work best as a focal point. For dining table centerpieces, 8-10 inch tabletop lanterns are ideal. For large covered patios, consider clustering 2-3 lanterns at different heights. Measure your ceiling height — hanging lanterns should sit at least 7 feet from the floor in walkways.
