Description
The Montauk is a 2-light outdoor wall lantern built from solid brass with a sienna finish, holding a tapered glass box beneath a decorative overhead bracket and cap. The seeded glass panels show a textured, bubble-flecked surface that scatters the light from two E14 candle bulbs (sold separately) across porches, doorways and pathway walls. The sienna finish is a mid-tone oxidised brass that sits between raw copper and aged bronze, delivering warm earth tones rather than the cooler grey-greens of traditional verdigris.
Designed for front doors, porch columns and exterior wall mounting on traditional and coastal-style homes, the Montauk measures 439mm tall by 178mm wide with a 235mm projection from the wall. The IP44 rating protects against splashing water from any direction, making it suitable for covered outdoor positions including porches, verandas and soffits. The overhead bracket curves down from the wall plate to support the lantern head, echoing historic carriage lamp and harbour light designs common to New England coastal towns.
The solid brass construction gains patina over time when exposed to coastal air or high-humidity environments, though the sienna finish is pre-aged to provide a consistent appearance from installation. Each E14 socket accepts candle bulbs up to 60W, with warm-white LED filament bulbs providing the most authentic period appearance through the seeded glass. The glass panels are held in a brass frame with visible soldered seams, giving the lantern a hand-built character rather than a machined industrial look. Hinkley backs this fitting with a lifetime guarantee on the metalwork.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Montauk take?
The lantern has two E14 (small Edison screw) candle sockets, each rated up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most buyers pair this with 4-6W warm-white LED candle bulbs at 2700K for a period-appropriate glow through the seeded glass.
Can it be used in fully exposed outdoor locations?
The IP44 rating protects against splashing water from any direction, so the Montauk is suitable for covered outdoor positions such as porches, soffits and verandas. It is not rated for direct overhead rain exposure or ground-level installation where it would be subjected to standing water.
Does the sienna finish change over time?
The sienna finish is a pre-aged oxidised brass. In coastal or high-humidity environments the solid brass may develop additional patina over years of exposure, deepening the tone slightly. This is a natural characteristic of brass rather than a defect.
What is the seeded glass effect?
Seeded glass contains deliberately introduced air bubbles during the glass-making process, creating a textured, slightly frosted appearance reminiscent of antique hand-blown glass. It scatters light softly rather than providing a clear view of the bulbs inside.
