Vermont Lanterns Masthead Lantern

While the brass construction is durable, this lantern is designed primarily for covered outdoor areas like patios or decks. Because it is an electric fixture, you should avoid direct exposure to heavy rain or harsh weather conditions to protect the electrical components.

The lantern is designed for versatility, but it does not include specific wall-mounting hardware. You will need to provide your own screws or brackets suitable for the surface material where you intend to hang it.

This lantern is compatible with standard bulbs up to 60 watts. For the best aesthetic, we recommend using an Edison-style LED bulb, which complements the vintage brass look while remaining energy-efficient.

The lantern features a classic, polished brass finish. Over time, if left exposed to the elements or handled frequently, the brass will naturally develop a rich patina, adding to its authentic maritime character.

Weighing in at 6 pounds, this lantern has a substantial, solid feel. It is heavy enough to sit securely on a flat tabletop without tipping, though you should still place it on a stable, level surface.
