Candlelight through a tall column of mesh, with one fleur-de-lis to catch it.
Stephanie is the taller lantern in the pair, a 38.5 cm column of fine aged gold metal mesh wrapped around a clear glass hurricane. The moulded fleur-de-lis medallion sits front and centre, its scrollwork raised against the diamond weave. A fluted dome lifts on a small clasp, and the ring handle lets you hang her from a hook or a branch.
She takes a standard pillar candle and casts a tall, soft pattern up a wall or along a table. Keep her indoors, or under a covered patio out of the rain. On her own she anchors a console; next to the shorter Sophie she gives you two heights to step a grouping.
Why we love it
◆Height with restraint, the slim taper and fleur-de-lis medallion carry French Provincial detail without crowding a surface.
◆Mesh over glass, the metal lattice diffuses the flame while the inner glass keeps draughts off the wick.
◆Lift-top access, the domed lid opens on a clasp, so a pillar candle goes straight in from the top.
◆The tall half of a pair, stand her with the shorter Sophie for a stepped look, or let her work solo.

Stylist's Tip
Give the tall column a tall candle. A pillar that fills about two thirds of the glass keeps her proportions right, and a flameless LED on a timer means she lights herself at dusk.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth, and slide the glass out to hand wash it once soot builds up. Keep the metal dry; under cover is fine, but bring her inside for heavy weather so the aged finish lasts. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and a flameless LED removes the risk entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Stephanie live outside?
Under cover, yes. A sheltered patio or verandah suits her as long as she stays dry. Direct rain and full sun will age the metal faster, so bring her in for storms and over winter.
What rooms does she suit?
French Provincial, French country and cottage interiors first. The mesh and fleur-de-lis also settle into transitional and Hamptons-style rooms wanting one tall, candlelit feature.
How tall is she?
38.5 cm tall and 18.5 cm across the base, taller than a standard bottle of wine by a fair margin. She holds a regular pillar candle of roughly 7 to 8 cm wide.
Will mine match the photos exactly?
Each lantern is hand-finished, so patina and the depth of the gold vary a little between pieces. Light marks in the finish belong to the aged character rather than counting as faults.
Is the candle included, and does she come with the smaller one?
The candle is styling only and not included. Stephanie sells on her own as the taller size. The shorter Sophie is a separate listing if you want the pair.
Because Stephanie is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I was scared to open my parcel due to past experience with buying on line with less than perfect purchases.
This parcel, from the packaging to the presentation has been more than expected.
Thank you very much.

My recent purchases look amazing in my garden… my delivery arrived promptly and the communication from Chateau was explanatory as to where and what was happening. I liked the follow up emails … thanks
I am so glad I bought these beautiful Dragonflies! I only have a small front verandah, but I wanted to place them out here. Dragonflies, are my spirit animals.
I bought special hooks to place on the window so I could hang them. I placed them behind my buddha, and I feel they look very decorative and effective.
I lurve the Rocco French Provincial Lidded Canister. It's just gorgeous! My pics are not its final destination or styling. I added these very large hydrangeas so you can see how big it is and how much it can hold. The product is high quality and stands on its own regardless of how you choose to style it. I adore the antique gold finish and will be buying other products. Communication about my purchase and delivery was great, and all products were packed well. Thankfully, I'm in a 2-bedroom apartment; otherwise, I'd need a VIP card.
I love my new products and will be purchasing more. They are particularly nice next to my ginger jars, but I'm testing out places for them before I decide whether I will style them with or without a floral arrangement and where they'll be placed. This is a great quality product and the size I wanted (fairly large). The delivery was prompt; communication was great about what was happening and when, and the products arrived safely and without damage, as they were packaged appropriately. I was so happy, I wrote to the team straight away to say thanks.
I enjoyed reading the Chateau Styling Guide very much. I appreciate the collection of beautiful pieces Lucie has made available to her clients. And I agree with the idea that one should never ‘rush’ to complete a room or your home. It is so satisfying to finally find that one special piece you know will add to the look of your home. Thank you so much for this booklet. It will be a great resource to refer to.
