A genuinely hand-forged wrought iron lantern, made in our Suffolk forge by skilled artisan blacksmiths.
The Langsett 1-light lantern is a beautifully proportioned expression of traditional wrought iron craftsmanship. Inspired by the character of classic coaching house lanterns, its graceful arched frame, substantial ironwork and carefully worked details give it a timeless presence that sits comfortably in both period and contemporary settings.
The Langsett is a lantern made to be appreciated up close. The substantial frame, graceful arched sections and carefully worked suspension create a character and depth that only comes from genuine blacksmithing.
From the forged hook and twisted ironwork to the finely worked details around the top of the lantern, every element has been considered rather than simply reproduced. The result is a lantern with the timeless character of traditional English design, combined with clean proportions and an understated elegance.
Clear glass panels allow the warm glow of the bulb to shine through while also revealing the craftsmanship of the ironwork. When unlit, the lantern remains a decorative architectural feature in its own right.
Each Langsett is individually made in our Suffolk forge by skilled blacksmiths using traditional techniques. Working the iron by hand gives each lantern its own subtle variations, texture and character.
These natural marks are part of the making process – evidence that the lantern is genuinely hand-forged rather than factory-produced.
Strong, substantial and made to last, the Langsett is intended to become a lasting feature of the building it illuminates. It is the kind of piece that rewards a closer look, with details that reveal themselves over time and craftsmanship that will continue to be appreciated for years to come.
For those looking for an authentic wrought iron lantern with genuine British craftsmanship at its heart, the Langsett represents the real thing.
The Langsett is available in three versions, each retaining the distinctive character and proportions of the original design.
