Lite Lampshade Mica panes to simulate horn.
Sturdy construction for rugged use.
A lantern inspires this 18th to early 19th century-style round naval lantern in the Smithsonian Museum Collections ( item #2002.0160.04). It may have been the type used on the USS Constitution.
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.
