Lantern – Glass, Metal, Antique Brass
Product description
Herslev Lantern is a tall, slender lantern in glass and metal with an antique brass look, designed to bring a steady, sheltered candlelight to calm interiors. With its compact footprint (12 × 12 cm) and generous height (60 cm), it works well on the floor beside a sofa, on a hallway console, or as a centrepiece on a dining table—especially when you want light that feels contained and tidy rather than exposed.
The design is defined by a clean, rectangular silhouette and a slim metal frame. The glass panels have a subtle vertical texture that softens the flame and reduces glare, creating a more even glow. A metal handle at the top makes the lantern easy to move between rooms, while the door and latch give practical access when placing or replacing a candle.
This is the kind of lantern chosen for its proportions: tall enough to read as a deliberate object, yet narrow enough to sit neatly in small spaces. The antique brass finish adds warmth without looking shiny, making it easy to combine with oak, linen, ceramics, and neutral textiles.

Why this product stands out
Many lanterns feel bulky or overly decorative. Herslev keeps the expression simple and architectural, with height as its main character. The textured glass is not only a design detail—it helps diffuse the candlelight, so the lantern feels comfortable in the room from multiple angles. The enclosed construction also shields the flame from light drafts, making it a reliable choice for everyday use on a sideboard, in an entryway, or on a windowsill.
For a similar look without an open flame, the lantern also works well with a battery-operated LED candle, especially in homes with pets or small children.
How it works in the home
Use Herslev as a floor lantern next to an armchair, by the fireplace, or in a quiet corner where you want a warm point of light. Its narrow base suits hallway styling on a console or chest without taking up valuable surface space. On a dining table, it creates verticality—ideal for long tables where low candleholders can disappear among plates and serving dishes. It also pairs naturally with other metal accents in the room, such as picture frames, hooks, or cabinet pulls.
