Description

The Ruala is a square lantern 44cm tall and 25cm across, with a domed metal top, a swing handle above it and four ribbed glass panels below. One of the four panels is a door on a hinge, held shut by a small wire catch at the side. The glass is silvered rather than plain, and the silvering is worn and blotched, so the panels read as old mirror with the reeding running top to bottom. The metal is mottled brass with rust and darker patina across the top and the base.

At 44cm this works on the floor as readily as on a table. The reeding breaks the flame into vertical lines, so the light comes through as bands rather than a single point, and the silvered ground behind it throws the glow back out again. The door opens at the front to reach the candle, and the whole lantern weighs 3.1kg. Indoor use only.

The panels are mercury glass and the frame is iron in a brass finish. The glass is cut by hand and given its aged silvering before the frame is cut and assembled around it, so the blotching on every panel is different and the marks where the frame is joined are left showing. It takes a pillar candle, standing on the base.

Frequently Asked

How big is the lantern?

44cm tall and 25cm square.

Does it open?

Yes. One of the four panels is a door on a hinge, held shut by a wire catch at the side.

Is the glass plain?

No. The panels are mercury glass, silvered and ribbed, so they read as old mirror rather than window glass.

Can it go outside?

Indoor use only.

How should it be looked after?

Wipe it over with a soft dry cloth, and use a microfibre cloth in a circular motion on the glass. To lift wax, use warm water with a mild dish soap, dry it straight away and do not leave it to soak.

Does it get hot in use?

Yes. Stand the candle securely and keep the flame away from the glass, keep the lantern out of reach of children, wait until it has cooled fully before handling it, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
