Honest Lantern

These lanterns are made to order. Please allow up to 8 weeks for delivery.

I call this the Honest Lantern, based on a 1787 print of “Diogenes looking for an honest man.” I developed this pattern based on several period images. I had to make some assumptions about the construction as I had not seen an original lantern like this.

• Measurements: About 8” tall. The body is about 4” in diameter.

• Finish: Bright, Antiqued, Black, Red, Mustard with lite or amber-colored panes.

The panes are mica products that simulate horn panes. The finish is intended to look like a lantern that has been used and repainted a few times, with brush marks and blemishes.

Each lantern is made one at a time, and there WILL be small differences in finish and construction for each lantern.
