Phellan Brown Lantern

With its coastal-inspired wood and rope construction, this lantern is a perfect aesthetic match for beach-side homes; however, it is best kept indoors or in a well-protected area like a screened-in porch. In humid coastal climates, direct exposure to rain or salt air can cause the natural wood finish to warp or the rope fibers to degrade. For longevity, keep this piece sheltered from the elements.

To keep your lantern looking its best, our care experts recommend regular dusting of the wood frame with a soft, dry cloth. For the rope handle, a quick pass with a vacuum's brush attachment is effective for removing dust trapped within the fibers. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or excessive moisture, as these can strip the dark wood finish and weaken the natural rope.

Based on professional styling principles for decorative accents, this lantern works best when it adds vertical interest. You can suspend it from a ceiling hook to draw the eye upward or place it on a tabletop. To create a curated "designer" look, group it in an odd-numbered arrangement with other textures, such as a smooth ceramic vase or a small stack of books, ensuring you leave some negative space so each piece can stand out.

This lantern is designed specifically as a candle holder. While it can accommodate traditional wax candles, we highly recommend using LED flameless candles. This is especially true if you intend to use the rope handle to suspend the piece, as LED options provide a consistent, heat-free glow that is safer for the wood frame and rope materials.

Yes, this lantern is purposefully designed with a integrated rope handle that allows it to be suspended. At 11 inches tall, it is a lightweight accent that can easily be hung from a standard ceiling hook or a decorative wall bracket to add a boho-chic layer to your lighting and decor.

This lantern is an excellent pet- and child-friendly decorative option when paired with a battery-operated LED candle. The wood frame offers more durability than thin glass alternatives, and the lack of an open flame removes the risk of fire or burns if the piece is accidentally bumped or tipped during play.
