Description
This spun acrylic Christmas lantern brings a soft, frosted glow to the season in a traditional Dickensian shape. It stands 35cm tall, with a square body beneath a wide, gently sloping roof, a pointed cap and a loop at the very top. Strands of clear spun acrylic are wound over a slim frame, so when the lights are on the whole lantern sparkles from roof to base. Even with the lights off it reads as a delicate, frosty ornament. It is battery operated, so there is no plug to find and no socket to plan around.
At 35cm it is a comfortable size for a sideboard, a mantelpiece, a console table or a deep windowsill indoors, and it sits happily among greenery, pine cones and other winter pieces. The loop at the top gives you the choice of hanging it from a sturdy hook, perhaps above a dining table or in a hallway, or simply standing it on its flat base. It is also lovely within a Christmas village scene, where it glows like a street lamp among the little houses. It suits anyone who loves an old-fashioned kind of Christmas and would rather have a gentle sparkle in the room than bright, busy lights.
A 30cm lead cable runs from the lantern, giving enough slack to tuck the power end neatly out of sight behind the base. To keep the acrylic looking fresh, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, and avoid pressing or crushing the strands. When the season is over, wrap it loosely and store it somewhere dry so its shape holds for the following Christmas. We like it at the centre of a mantelpiece with a garland running either side, where its frosty sparkle catches the eye every evening.
