Bodnam Bay Silver Large Indoor/Outdoor Lantern

While this lantern is built with weather-resistant materials like stainless steel and teak, we recommend placing it in a covered setting, such as a porch or lanai. To preserve the finish and structural integrity of the wood and metal, it should be kept away from direct rain and standing water. Placing it in a partially sheltered area helps prevent spotting on the metal and ensures the teak ages gracefully.

Yes, at 36 inches (3 feet) in height, this lantern is designed as a substantial floor-standing accent. Its large scale makes it an excellent choice for framing a front entryway, adding height to a fireplace hearth, or defining the corners of a large patio. The 9" x 9" base provides a stable footprint for these larger decorative applications.

We highly recommend using flameless LED candles for this lantern. Battery-operated candles provide a safe, heat-free glow and often include convenient timer functions. The lantern is designed with a removable lid, allowing for easy access to place or replace your light source without the mess of traditional candle wax.

No assembly is required for this item. It is designed for immediate use, featuring a removable lid for easy interior access. This allows you to place your preferred lighting source and begin enjoying the calming atmosphere of your space as soon as it arrives.

Stainless steel and teak wood are premium materials specifically chosen for their exceptional durability and aesthetic appeal. Stainless steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for the moisture levels found in outdoor environments. Teak is a dense hardwood naturally rich in protective oils that resist decay and weather damage. Together, these materials provide a sturdy, long-lasting decorative piece that maintains its beauty over time.

To prevent the buildup of salt residue or dust in humid or coastal climates, our care guides recommend wiping the stainless steel surfaces periodically with a soft cloth and mild soap. For the teak components, you may use a wood-specific cleaner. Note that teak will naturally develop a sophisticated silver-gray patina when exposed to the elements; if you prefer the original warm wood tone, you can occasionally apply a high-quality teak oil.
