Originally made to encase the light of a flickering flame, lanterns were first designed for function, not fashion. Today, they incorporate both. Take this one for example: Crafted from aluminum, this piece is affixed to your wall with an eye-catching metalwork arm. Its classic black finish exudes traditional appeal, while a glass shade diffuses light from an incandescent bulb up to 100 W. Rated for wet locations, this is the perfect piece to greet guests on your front porch.
