Mael French Provincial Filigree Candle Lantern, Antique Gold with Verdigris and Glass Cylinder
30-day money back guarantee
Examples of Château Living
The taller of the pair, all filigree, beads and one warm candle behind glass.
Mael is the larger of the two ornate lanterns, in aged metal finished in antique gold with a soft verdigris patina. The scalloped dome is embossed and pierced, with a tall filigree collar, a ring handle and fine beaded chains draped around a clear glass cylinder. Set a pillar candle inside and the pierced work scatters lace-like light around it.
At 32 cm it sits nicely on a table, a mantel or a hall console, and the ring handle means it can hang as well. Use it alone, or beside the smaller Mylan for a graduated pair. The look leans French Provincial with a Moroccan, boudoir edge.
Why we love it
- ◆ Lace-like light, the pierced filigree and beaded chains scatter the candlelight into fine patterns across a table.
- ◆ Antique gold with verdigris, aged metal hand-finished with a soft green patina over the embossing, so it reads old and collected.
- ◆ Glass cylinder inside, it shields a pillar candle or a flameless LED, and the lantern can sit or hang.
- ◆ One of a pair, pair it with the smaller Mylan for graduated heights, or let it stand on its own.

How to style it
It makes a warm centre wherever you set it.
- Pair it with the smaller Mylan and the rest of our lanterns for layered heights.
- Set it on a mantel or dining table with other candle holders for an evening glow.
- Stand it on a console beside a mirror to double the light.
- Hang it from a covered patio hook, alongside our garden and outdoor pieces.
Stylist's Tip Give Mael a pillar candle or a flameless LED to fill the glass cylinder. A taller, wider candle reads better and pushes light through every piercing and bead.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth, and use a soft brush to reach into the filigree and beadwork. Lift out the glass cylinder to wash it clear of soot now and then. Keep the metal dry; indoors or under cover outdoors is best, since steady damp will dull the antique gold and verdigris over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Mael outside?
Indoors is its natural home, but it is fine on a covered verandah or patio out of direct rain and wind. Bring it in over wet spells so the gold and verdigris stay as they are.
What style of room does it suit?
French Provincial first, with a Moroccan and boudoir leaning. The antique gold and verdigris also sit well in boho, vintage and warm eclectic rooms.
How big is Mael?
It stands 32 cm tall on a 15 cm round base. It is the larger of a pair; the smaller Mylan is 29 cm.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Close, not identical. Each lantern is hand-finished, so the gold and the verdigris patina fall a little differently piece to piece. That is part of the look, not a fault.
Does it make a good gift?
Yes. It is a generous, eye-catching piece at a friendly price, lovely for a wedding, a housewarming or a special birthday, and ready to use with your own pillar candle or a flameless LED. The candle is not included.
Because Mael is hand-finished, slight variations in the antique gold and verdigris patina are natural and part of the character of each lantern. Colour may also vary slightly between screens; all photography is taken in natural light.
