Recycled Iron Lantern - Santa

Because the lantern is made of metal, it is best suited for LED pillar candles or tea lights. If you prefer a real wax candle, ensure it is contained in a glass votive to protect the interior finish and prevent any potential overheating of the metal structure.

Yes, the distressed finish is applied throughout the entire piece to maintain a cohesive, vintage look. Because it is crafted from recycled iron, you may notice slight variations in the texture and patina, which are intentional characteristics of the material and the handmade process.

While the lantern is durable, it is primarily designed for indoor holiday decor. If you choose to place it on a covered porch, be aware that moisture may cause the recycled iron to rust or weather further over time.

To maintain the finish, simply wipe the lantern down with a soft, lint-free dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can strip away the distressed patina.

The Santa pattern is cut out from the metal, allowing light to shine through the design. This creates a beautiful, glowing silhouette effect when a candle is placed inside.
