By the 1800's, the pierced tin lantern known as the Paul Revere style had gained considerable popularity. These candle lamps were more rugged than lanterns with expensive glass panes, which were hard to come by. Our tin lamp is based on an historic example and hand-punched like the originals. At 13-1/2" high and 4-3/4” in diameter, it holds a standard 9" beeswax candle.
