Our Heritage Lanterns are created by hand, just for you. Hand skills, rarely found in today’s world of mass production. New England craftsman individually cut, shape and assemble each light and take great pride in meticulously crafting even the smallest details.
While Heritage lights follow the shapes and forms of the 18th century, they’re simply stunning when used in contemporary settings. The placement of these lights is limited only by the imagination.
The Heritage Difference
Our authentic designs speak for themselves. Heritage uses only metals that will not rust … there will be no “surprises” a few years after installation. We do not lacquer our fixtures so you can enjoy the rich patina that comes with natural aging. Heritage lights, either indoors or outdoors, need no maintenance.
Heritage Finishes
All Heritage lights are available in both solid copper and solid brass. Along with choosing your metal, you may select from our lovely handworked finishes.
Easy to order
Call or email us to place your order. We make each light especially for you. While some times of the year are especially busy, we’re usually able to complete your order in about six weeks. Our fixtures ship via UPS and we accept Mastercard, Visa or payment with a check.
Lanterns
If early Colonial lanterns could speak, they undoubtedly would reveal a wealth of tales and fireside stories that have been lost over the last two centuries. Lanterns were carried by jailers on their prison rounds; by night watchmen as they traversed darkened cobbled streets; by farmers tending their livestock on snowy winter evenings. Lantern lit the entrances and passageways of America’s wayside taverns, and they kept watch over the American patriots struggling to mold a unified government form 13 very independent colonies. Lanterns were the ever-silent bystanders through those early years in American history. Heritage continues the lantern’s unique traditions with finely executed designs that will bring warmth and cheer to your home. As you explore our offerings, please keep these important details in mind:
• Wall mounted lanterns feature a “return” area in the back of the light. Wiring, done anywhere within this ½” deep flush mount area will be completely out of sight and weather protected
• All brackets are made from heavy, solid flatbar and are firmly soldered to the lantern in two or three places. Although the lanterns may appear to be hanging loosely, they do not and cannot swing
