Lantern Border Blue
Hurricane lamps are an ancient method of lighting and continue to be a fabulous way to provide outdoor illumination especially when the party moves outdoors and the wind is building up. This is a lamp that will floor anyone who loves shabby chic decor - the dull peeling blue paint in a delicate powdery blue, the even more beautiful border that is ornate and ever so elegant, and the sturdy frame that gives this lantern its basic shape makes it a spectacularly pretty piece to own. For placing the tea light or candle all one has to do is open the door like front of the lantern and place the candle on the flat base and then close the tiny door to keep the flame well protected from the breeze. The interesting dome like structure on the top and the period look of the metal design is extraordinary and unique.
