A classic, medium sized hall lantern with a vintage style bell jar glass shade, our Bonham Lantern would make a wonderful addition to any room in your home. Inspired by Georgian lighting schemes, it features a traditional, hand blown bell jar glass shade set in a beeswaxed forged iron fitting, and comes supplied with 1m of chain that makes it a great choice for lighting an entrance hall.
Bell jars were originally hung in vestibules and entrance halls of Georgian homes where the jars stopped the candles being blown out when the door opened. In those days, candles were expensive so the jars where only lit when guests were expected but our Bonham has been designed with three bulb fittings to ensure there is plenty of light where it is needed! All

The Bonham is made from solid, high quality steel that is traditionally beeswaxed for soft black look. It has a wonderful weighty quality that befits its handmade nature.

Beeswax: A traditional technique used since Tudor times. The metal is heated until it darkens and then dipped in natural beeswax which gives is a lovely soft black wrought iron effect which looks fabulous in any traditional or contemporary interior. As beeswax is a natural finish that reacts with the underlying metal during the forging process, it often has a subtle, slightly mottled patina with undertones of deep grey or ochre. It is not waterproof, so will need to be rewaxed occasionally. To find out more about our finishes and how best to maintain them, please read our
