Originally made to encase the light of a flickering flame, lanterns were first designed for function, not fashion. Today, they incorporate both. Take this one for example: Suspended by a chain-link hanging fixture, it boasts a cylindrical silhouette and comes awash in a neutral finish that blends with a variety of color schemes. Scrolled detailing distorts light from any medium-base bulb up to 100 W (not included), while a wet location rating makes it perfect for your outdoor arrangement.
