Description
This white hanging ornament takes the shape of a traditional lantern: narrow at the top, swelling through the middle and tapering again towards a turned finial at the base. It is 26cm across and 50cm tall. Fine vertical lines run the length of the cover, dividing it into soft panels that give it a gently ribbed outline. A slim wire loop at the top takes a hook, and beneath the finial a single bead and a long white tassel hang free. The ornament is made from polyester, bamboo, acacia and iron, and it weighs 0.4KG, so it is light to handle and easy to hang.
Because it is an ornament rather than a lamp, there is no flex to run and no socket to find, so it can go wherever there is a hook: in a bedroom window, above a reading chair, at the end of a hallway or over a dining table. It gives a room the soft outline of a lantern by day and by evening without any wiring. In summer it can come outside for an afternoon too, hung from a low branch over a picnic rug or a garden table. The white cover sits happily beside natural wood, rattan and linen, and it suits a calm, pale scheme as well as a brighter, more colourful one.
The cover is shaped into vertical panels, with a narrow band at the top and another above the finial to finish each end, and the wire hanger rises from the top band to a small loop. Hang it from a ceiling hook, a curtain pole or a branch, and give the tassel room to fall clear. For the best effect, hang a pair at slightly different heights, or let a single ornament fill the empty corner of a room where a floor lamp would crowd the space. The styling props shown are not included.
