Inspired by colonial gas lanterns flanking the doors of meetinghouses and taverns in sleepy New England villages, and lighting the entryways of clapboard-clad homes lining winding cobblestone streets, this traditional one-light outdoor wall lantern wears its American heritage with pride. Made from solid brass in a handsome metal finish, this delightful design showcases a raised octagonal backplate, a scrollwork shepherd’s hook arm, and a simple one-bulb fixture enveloped in clear, flat glass panels. Establish a timeless, inviting aesthetic on your front porch by setting a planked-top accent table between a pair of spindle-back rocking chairs. Install one of these lights on each side of the front door to illuminate the scene in a soft glow, then sit back with your better half and sip on a mug of hot coffee while enjoying the breeze.
I like the lamp. It looks nice installed on my back porch. I bought LED bulbs from Wayfair to go with it. The only downside is the installation instructions. They are not clear. The illustration is small and hard to read. The screws supplied with the lamp do not fit my junction box. But I used the old screws that were on the old lamp. In the end, everything was installed properly and it looks fine.. Rose. Fri Oct 10 2025
