Austen Barn Lights

The double-roof design of the Austens belies their origin before the use of electricity. The oil-burning originals, with flames protected by the double roof, were used in England during the mid 1700's. Solidly and beautifully constructed, an Austen will spread an inviting glow by your door.

(Small and large, standard socket up to 100W.)
(Medium, candelabra sockets up to 60W each.)

Barn Light

The original oil-burning Barn Light design has been accurately reproduced in our free-standing oil lantern. An ideal light source for a garden patio or a porch, this fine, old design (with its functional handle) is ideal for modern uses. The oil lamp within the lantern can also be removed and used separately! The wall-mounted adaptation of this charming lantern is electrified and has a solid back with reflector.

(Standard Socket, up to 100W.)

Garage Light

This unusual light was designed by us for the many customers who have asked for a more traditional garage light. The decorative beading we’ve incorporated along the front and sides of this practical light make it an excellent choice for a wide range of uses. This is an enclosed light with a frosted or clear glass bottom door for weather protection. Please specify.

(2 standard sockets, up to 75W each.)

Governor’s Palace

An outstanding example of early American lighting, this lantern’s unique shape and elegant simplicity set it apart from the ordinary. Wider across the front than at the rear, the angled sides lend an unusual sense of depth. Well-suited for use in pairs, the Governor’s Palace lantern is equally striking when used alone. The lantern’s interior is protected from the weather by a horizontal glass plate (not visible) mounted inside near the top of the fixture. If requested, a standard base single socket candle is available in place of the two candelabra sockets.

(Candelabra sockets, up to 60W each.)

The Williamsburg

The Williamsburg is perhaps the most well known of Colonial lantern designs, and many companies make their own variations based on its style—but few achieve the quality found in this Heritage light.

Explore the features we build into each Williamsburg light: vent holes just like the originals, solid piece bottom construction and heavy protective arches for the glass. In fact, each arch has to be carefully shaped by hand and then fitted to the light!

The glass is available in your choice of seedy or clear. This lantern is also available in the ceiling and post light version; inquire for more details.

(Sm–standard socket, up to 75W.)
(Lge–standard socket, up to 100W.)
*(Comes with 12" of chain and canopy not included in height measurement.)

Pocket Light

English citizens once enjoyed the gracious lines of these lanterns, as the originals were used as carriage lights. Considered to be one of the finest Heritage lanterns, these Pocket Lights make an elegant statement at any entrance.

The carefully proportioned curves at the top and bottom of each light are metal spinnings made by hand. Hand metal spinning is an uncommon talent, and today, such spinnings are rarely found on handcrafted lights.

(Standard socket, up to 100W.)
(Specify clear or frosted chimney on large size.)

In all my years, I’ve never seen fixtures as beautifully made and proportioned as these. They put to shame every other fixture we so carefully selected. . . Even our electrician couldn’t stop commenting about how he’d never seen fixtures made like these.

Constitution Lantern

The Constitution Lantern is an example of the copper battle lanterns used on the frigates of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Because fire was always a major concern on these wooden vessels, this rugged well-enclosed lantern was developed. It was fitted with many narrow vertical horn panels and fueled with whale oil.

The portable battle lantern was used extensively on ships such as Old Ironsides during the War of 1812. It served as general illumination on deck areas during nighttime and was the only lantern allowed for use during night combat, when quantities of highly explosive black powder were being used to charge the cannons on the gun and spar decks.

Other lighting on board ship such as those used in the cabins, wardrooms, sickbay and storerooms consisted of fixed oil-fueled lamps with removable chimneys. The ever-present danger of fire, especially during stormy weather, necessitated a strict rule that these lamps must never be left unattended. Failure to extinguish them upon leaving an area resulted in severe punishment. As a result, the same sturdy lantern used for illumination during nighttime battles was often hand-carried to light the way from one area to another.

(Standard socket, up to 100W.)
(Hanging model comes with 12" of chain and canopy, not included in height measurements.)
(Available in plain or seedy glass. Please specify.)

Walnut Hill Tavern Light

Walnut Hill, as “ancient” North Yarmouth was commonly referred to, was the crossroads between other nearby settlements, and served as the site for a number of old taverns. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, men driving cattle and carrying farm goods to market relied on these taverns for their food and lodging. A weary traveler of the times would have undoubtedly been welcomed by the inviting warmth of the original of this handsome light. Usually placed on the table of finer taverns, the lantern was sometimes carried from room to room. Authentic details include a carrying handle, double roof, reflectors and outside channelling for the glass. It’s a difficult light for us to make, but it’s still one of our favorites!

(Standard socket, up to 100W.)

Cottage Light

With its seedy glass panels, the Cottage Light sheds a special warm glow. It is perfect for a cozy corner, hallway or foyer, and is equally versatile as an exterior light.

Its 18th century styling reminds one of the gaoler’s lantern of old England. The Cottage Light takes on an entirely different look when finished in Verdigris, a finish for indoor use only.

All styles come with a removable metal-framed seedy glass bottom. The Cottage Light is also available as a post light, and prices are available on request.

Jim Light

The size of this delightful light makes it “jim dandy” for those special places in your home. The Jim Light is a reproduction of a ship’s lantern we found several years ago, and while it’s smaller than most lights we offer, we find it’s popular for that reason. Its slender, hinged door makes it a real gem!

(Standard socket up to 75W.)

Ship’s Lantern

Our Yankee ancestors were among the most famous in the Colonies for their seafaring abilities. In the days before the Panama and Suez Canals, ships’ captains would sail around the world in clipper ships (renowned for their beauty and speed), trading for tea in China or importing the newest fashions from the Continent. The original of this carefully designed lantern burned oil and was used to illuminate the dark passageways of Colonial ships.

The Ship’s Lantern is one of our most versatile offerings, appropriate for indoor accents as well as outdoor uses. Note that the glass is authentically channelled on the outside.

(Candelabra sockets, up to 60W each.)

We now have six Heritage fixtures in our home. We appreciate every one each time we pass it.

Salem Lights

A gentle word when spoken, “Salem” means land of peace. Many early settlers came to the New World looking for peace and prosperity, and they often named their towns and villages “Salem” to give their hope a concrete form. Our Heritage Salem Lights cast a “harmonious” glow. They share the same elegance of design as the Provincials, but they have a rectangular body. All Salem lights are channel constructed, a technique requiring masterful levels of craftsmanship.

Salem Lights are available with a plain roof or with an acorn or eagle finial as decoration (please be sure to specify).

(Candelabra sockets, up to 60W each.)

My lights arrived last evening . . . they are so very beautiful. I’m enchanted with them. They complement my old furniture from the 1700s. Thank you for making such beautiful work in these times.
St. Petersburg, Florida

The Provincials

Channel Construction

The Provincials from Heritage Lanterns are painstakingly put together using channel construction. Similar in appearance to our Salem Lights, the Provincials have a square body.

The elegant channel construction of these lights is further enhanced with the six-pointed star decoration. Each of these delicate stars is meticulously positioned and carefully handpunched.

If you select a bracket or hanging Provincial, you may choose a plain roof or one with an acorn or eagle finial.

Windsor Lights

Channel Construction

Of English origin, these impressive lanterns possess an ageless classic beauty of their own. Available in hanging, wall bracket or post styles, each Windsor Light is distinguished by Heritage’s skill-intensive channel construction. Unique to the Windsor is its distinctive appearance from a side perspective, a view that fully reveals its classical lines. The specially designed bracket for the Windsor is unlike any other bracket we make. Also note the 1/8" thick “apron” that extends beyond the lantern’s side. While decorative, the apron adds unusual strength to the entire fixture.

Cape Ann Lantern

The Cape Ann Lantern is an adaptation of the English “lanthorn” meaning “lantern of horn.” One of the earliest lanterns imported from England, this candle-burning lantern used a window covering of painstakingly prepared animal horn. A later lanthorn had windows of mica, which was easier to obtain and prepare in small sheets and did not yellow as fast as the horn.

Our Heritage reproduction features the curved glass of the original. Built to last and to accommodate many uses, the bracket version of the Cape Ann is particularly handsome mounted on the side of a 6" x 6" square post.

The hanging Cape Ann may be ordered with a top light and/or a glass bottom. A three-light distributor is available for the large hanging model (please inquire about additional charges).

The Beacon Hill

Channel Construction

One can imagine Charles Bulfinch, the most famous architect of 18th-century Boston, hanging the original of this stately lantern as he added the final touches to a fashionable Beacon Hill home. Simplicity and graceful curves define this stylish, six-sided reproduction. Made with hand-formed round channel, this lantern creates an unusual interplay of light and shadow in any setting.

(Candelabra sockets, up to 60W each.)
(Comes with 12" of chain and canopy, not included in height measurement.)

Triangle Double Top

Often used to provide light around the barnyard in earlier days, the striking triple roof of this lantern provided excellent weather protection for the oil-burning originals. The glass, available in either seedy or clear, is authentically channelled on the inside.

The Triangle Double Top has two doors so you may mount the fixture anywhere and still have convenient access to the lantern’s interior. This is one of the most interesting lights we make; its shape is so unusual, and it looks so different from each perspective!

(Sm–standard socket, up to 60W each.)
(Lge–standard socket, up to 100W each.)

I am familiar with your products and find them to be a source of tremendous pleasure. A lantern I purchased from you and gave to my Aunt never ceases to impress me when I drive up to her home. It gets even more beautiful as it weathers.
Chicago, Illinois

Adams Hill

The Adams Hill Light, with its mirrored back and polished brass socket, is a beautiful indoor light. The pierced brass gallery on its roof and bottom lends a touch of elegance to the graceful lines of this light. It is excellent as a hallway sconce or on either side of a mirror.

(Standard socket, up to 60W.)

Liberty Tree Lantern

The original Liberty Tree Lantern, rich in Colonial history, is part of the collection of the Bostonian Society, Boston, Massachusetts.

The inscription on the bottom of the Bostonian Society’s lantern reads: “This lantern was on the northwest bough (opposite Frog Lane) of the Liberty Tree illuminated last night with several hundred lanterns on the arrival of the news of the repeal of the infamous George Grenville Stamp Act,” and dated May 20, 1766.

The intricate punched pattern on the upper portion of the lantern provides an interesting effect when illuminated and viewed from above. Handsome in all metals and finishes, it is offered with a choice of clear or seedy glass and a closed or glass bottom. Please specify.

(3 candelabra sockets, up to 60W each.)
(Comes with 12" of chain and canopy, not included in height measurement.)

Old North Church Lantern

One of the original pair of lanterns used as a signal in the North Church tower on April 18, 1775, is now in the possession of the Antiquarian Society in Concord, Massachusetts.

The story of Paul Revere’s famous ride has come largely from his own written account in carefully preserved letters sent to friends and family members. He wrote about the expectation of a move by the British to capture powder stored in Concord, an arrangement of signals from the North Church tower in case the movement started, and his escape by boat to Charlestown where he waited ready to ride to warn the colonists if need be. After Revere left Boston, an associate secured two lanterns from the church vestry and climbed the tower. When he saw the British troops entering the boats, he hung two lighted lanterns in the window facing the Charlestown shore, according to the prearranged signal of “one if by land, two if by sea.”

(Candelabra sockets, up to 60W.)

Rose of Sharon Light

Rose of Sharon, the floral symbol of persuasion, is the perfectly appropriate name for this 18th century English design. If our “art of persuasion” doesn’t affect you, the beauty of this light will, an outstanding example of Heritage craftsmanship. The gently curved beading and hand-formed scallop at the top are only two of its many exquisitely detailed features. Please specify your choice of clear or frosted chimney.

(Standard socket, up to 100W.)

Beauty will frequently gain over what all the arts of fine persuasion has failed to accomplish.

Versailles Light

The Versailles is an elegantly detailed light for indoor or outdoor use. Its French Provincial influence lends itself particularly well to a more formal setting as an entrance light, or with mirrored back as a wall sconce.

(Candelabra sockets up to 60W each.)

Concord Carriage Light

Carriage-making was an important industry in 19th century Yarmouth; in fact, most towns in southern Maine had their own wheelwright shop! The Concord Carriage Light imparts a warmth and elegance unmatched by many lanterns, thanks in part to the soft glow that shines through the filigree band around the roof. For additional weather protection, we position a glass plate (not visible) inside the roof, just below the filigree!

(Standard socket, up to 75W for small, 100W for large.)
(Specify clear or frosted chimney.)
