Pip Wren + Styling Guide
A lantern lifted to waist height on a slim gold stem.
Christine is a standing candle lantern, a glazed six-sided body raised on a long tapered stem and a weighted round foot. The top is a pierced crown in open filigree with a finial above it, so the heat escapes and the candlelight breaks upward through the cutwork.
Everything is iron in a warm antique gold, rubbed back along the stem and the glazing bars so it looks handled rather than new. The glass panes are clear, which keeps the flame the brightest thing in the piece.
At 113 cm it stands about waist height, which puts the lit body at eye level when you are sitting down. That makes it a floor piece rather than a table one: beside a fireplace, in a hall corner, flanking a doorway, or at the end of a run of furniture where a lamp would need a power point. Look at the taller 137 cm version if you want a pair at two heights, and the tabletop lantern in the same lantern collection.
Shown here styled against panelled walls with an antique cabinet and dried stems. Those pieces are for styling only and are not included.
Why we love it
- ◆ Floor height without bulk, 113 cm tall on a footprint of only 19 cm.
- ◆ A pierced crown top that vents the candle and throws cut light upward.
- ◆ No cord and no power point, so it goes where a floor lamp cannot.
- ◆ Rubbed antique gold on every part, stem, body and crown alike.

How to style it
A few ways to use it:
- One either side of a fireplace, lit together on a winter evening
- In a hall corner that has no power point and nowhere for a lamp
- Beside the taller 137 cm version, so the two crowns sit at different heights
- Flanking a doorway or the end of a hallway as a pair
- With an LED pillar where it will be left burning unattended
Stylist's Tip Stand it against a dark wall rather than a pale one. The antique gold and the cut crown both need something behind them to read against, and a light wall swallows the whole silhouette.
Care & Keeping
Wipe the glass with a soft dry cloth and dust the metal with a brush, which reaches the piercing in the crown. Never leave a lit candle unattended and keep it clear of curtains, which matters more with a floor piece than a table one. It is light for its height, so stand it where it will not be knocked, and check the stem is seated firmly in the base before you light it. Keep it indoors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it need assembling?
Yes, lightly. It is too tall to ship in one piece, so the stem and base come apart in the carton and join together on arrival.
Is it stable?
The foot is weighted and wider than the body, which is what holds it up. It is still a tall light object, so keep it out of a walkway and away from where a door swings.
Is a candle included?
No, the lantern comes on its own. A pillar candle or an LED pillar both work, and an LED is the sensible choice for a piece at floor level.
What is the difference between this and the 137 cm one?
Only the height of the stem. Same body, same crown, same finish. The pair at two heights looks better together than two of the same.
Can it go on a verandah?
It is made for indoor use. The antique gold finish is not weatherproof, so bring it in rather than leaving it out in the weather.
Because Christine is finished by hand, the antique gold varies a little from piece to piece, so no two are exactly alike. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
