Handcrafted Copper Lanterns

Handcrafted Copper Lanterns by Walter T. Howard & Dalton R. O'Neal

• Samples Only.  Lanterns are made to order.  Expect a one month wait.

Each Lantern is a work of Folk Art to be treasured by present and future generations.  

Picture a lantern similar to this hanging in the cabin of an old pirate's ship as he pondered his evil deeds while the lantern's eerie glow illuminated a faded chart of the Outer Bank's treacherous shoals.

Whether mounted on your porch to welcome holiday guest or hanging above your fireplace it is sure to bring a smile to the faces of all who admire the crafts of a bygone era.

Dalton O'Neal and Walter Howard have been careful to be as accurate as possible in the crafting of each lantern, hand bending and soldering with copper irons. 

* Please note that they have used only "Lead free solder".
