Elstead St Martins Single Wall Lantern - Aged Brass

A lantern with proper corners

There is something reassuring about a lantern with proper corners and a stepped, chimney like top. The St Martins takes its cue from lanterns fitted outside pre Georgian houses, boxy and upright rather than curved, and it suits a front door or a boundary wall equally well.

Aged brass finish

This version is finished in aged brass, a warmer, slightly shadowed tone rather than a bright polished shine. The metal box frame holds four panes of frosted glass, so the single bulb glows softly rather than glaring, and the brass will develop its own gentle patina as the seasons pass.

How It Works

One E27 bulb sits centrally behind the glass, held on a small bracket you can see through the front pane. It is wired for Class I use, so it needs an earthed connection, and it can be dimmed if you fit dimmable bulbs.

Where It Works Best

Designed for outdoor use, it suits porches, side entrances and gateways particularly well, anywhere a single steady light matters more than a wide spread. The stepped brass top and glazed sides read as a period detail whether mounted beside a panelled front door or along a run of garden wall.
