This Ashland Lantern candle holder has a cage design with a center insert piece that lifts out to allow placement of a pillar candle. The lantern is black on the outside and a very deep gold on the inside. The tall handle allows for carrying or hanging the lantern. The design works with all seasons--just change the color of the pillar candle--such as a yellow/orange for fall and green or red for Christmas and softer colors for Spring and summer. Use a battery candle with timer to avoid wax drips and concerns about fire. You can decorate around it, place it in a candle ring or maybe in a wreath. Lots of decorating choices with this lantern since it can be used as part of a larger seasonal display or just a single light feature. Lantern is 8" tall with a 4" diameter base and is 6" diameter at the widest point. Brand new with tags! Candle not included.
