Yes, Antique Copper is one of the six high quality metal finish choices we offer for our outdoor lighting. All of our lanterns are handcrafted in our Milwaukee plant of solid brass. Our Antique Copper finish involves copper plating the brass components. The parts are then toned to an earthy reddish-brown color. After assembly, the entire Antique Copper lantern is waxed sealed. If you'd like to receive a physical sample of this metal finish, or any of the others we offer, please contact our sales team. The other outdoor metal finish choices for lanterns are: authentic Verdigris Patina, rich Architectural Bronze, warm Satin Antique Brass, classic Black, and transitional Architectural iron

All of our exterior lanterns are compatible for use with incandescent, CFL or LED bulbs interchangeably, so its just a matter of personal preference. When considering LED bulbs, we recommend a 2700K color rating to achieve a warmer light. This rating scale can be found on the box with the wattage equivalents. The type of art glass panel you choose for your lantern can affect your bulb choice. Translucent art glass panels such as: Gold White Iridescent, Cream, Pearl, Honey Ripple Opaline, Moonlight Billow, and White Opal mask the bulb. More transparent art glass panel choices such as Waterfall, Clear Seeded, and Fountain soften the bulb, but it is still visible through the glass panel.

Yes, lanterns and lantern light fixtures can be ordered with a Custom Overlay. Please contact our sales team to find out how to order Custom Overlay for your indoor and outdoor lanterns.

Many of our indoor and outdoor lanterns offer an Overlay choice. Overlay is a decorative design element that is placed over the Art Glass Panels and built into the frame of the lantern. The Overlay emphasizes certain architectural styles. For example, our Studio Lantern family offers Prairie Overlay (Prairie Style), Foursquare Overlay (Craftsman Style), Macintosh Overlay (Arts & Crafts), and No Overlay (Modern/Contemporary). Depending on the details of your home such as the shapes or panes of windows, wall cladding, or other considerations, the Overlay will complement the architecture. If you need assistance choosing the best Overlay for your interior or exterior lanterns, please contact our sales team for expert advice.
