Woven wire, a glass insert and one warm candle, the biggest of the three.
Martine is the largest of three woven wire cage lanterns, an urn-shaped piece in aged metal with a weathered grey-green finish. The body is a twist of open wire mesh with a banded base, topped by an embossed, pierced collar and a looped carry handle. A clear glass insert sits inside on a small stand to hold a pillar candle and shield the flame.
At 31 cm tall and 21.5 cm across at its widest, it has real presence on a table, a hearth or a step, indoors or on a covered verandah, and the handle means it can hang or be carried out to the garden. Use it alone, or with the medium Louise and small Berenice for a graduated trio. The look is French Provincial with a rustic, farmhouse edge.
Why we love it
◆Soft, broken light, the woven wire throws a gentle web of shadow while the glass keeps the flame steady.
◆Weathered grey-green, aged metal hand-finished so it looks gently weathered, at home in a relaxed room or out in the garden.
◆Glass insert included, it holds a pillar candle and shields the flame, so a real candle or a flameless LED both work.
◆One of three, pair it with the medium Louise and small Berenice for a graduated grouping, or let it stand alone.

Stylist's Tip
Lift out the glass insert to drop in your candle, then settle it back on its stand. A flameless LED is the easy choice for a hanging or outdoor spot; a real pillar is lovely on the table, with the glass keeping it tidy.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush to reach into the wire. Lift out the glass insert to wash it clear of soot now and then. Keep the metal out of constant wet; indoors or under cover keeps the weathered finish looking its best. If you burn a real candle, never leave it unattended and keep it clear of anything that can catch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Martine outside?
Yes, on a covered verandah, patio or balcony out of driving rain. The aged finish suits an outdoor look; just keep it out of constant wet so it does not rust further, and bring it in over long wet spells.
Does it come with the glass and a candle?
The glass insert is included; the candle is not. The insert holds a standard pillar candle or a flameless LED and shields the flame inside the wire cage.
What style of room does it suit?
French Provincial with a rustic, farmhouse leaning. It also sits well in coastal, boho, cottage and relaxed country rooms.
How big is Martine?
It stands 31 cm tall and about 21.5 cm across at its widest. It is the largest of three; the medium Louise is 25 cm and the small Berenice is 21 cm.
Does it make a good gift?
Yes. A wire lantern is a warm, useful gift, lovely for a housewarming or wedding, and the three sizes make a generous set if you want to give more than one. The candle is not included.
Because Martine is hand-finished, the weathered grey-green varies a little from piece to piece, so no two are quite the same. Colour may also vary slightly between screens; all photography is taken in natural light.

I have never been a clock-watcher, but all that changed with Maude. I can't stop looking at her. Out of the box, slip in an AA battery and on to the wall, just like that! She is simply gorgeous.
This is a present for my horse loving daughter in law. I'm sure it will take pride of place on her mantle piece. Again I love this Web site which I will be visiting often.
Found this beautiful elegant Swan for my garden online via a search at Chateau Living. A great price, quality and excellent ordering and delivery. Would definitely purchase from this business again. They have such a beautiful variety of products.
It was my testing the waters first purchase to check out this new store & what’s on offer. I loved the idea of supplying cast iron cute animal figurines as they’re practical, good looking, solid durable material, great rust finish (no need to buy expensive rust effect paint). Just ready to weather and brings a smile on your dial. I placed my frog with his hands up as if in religious praying gesture next to the concrete funny sign scored at Vinnies reading: grant me patience Lord but hurry - I believe the praying frog and the sign go comically together. I’m thinking of getting the other frog too in its hilarious pose possibly in green patina for contrast. I can confirm it’s heavy cast iron with attractive rust patina. These casts fill the gap in the market dominated by laser cut cortina steel offerings. Just something old school different and complimentary to your garden /house decor. Pleased it’s introduced to Australian market and once for change not made in China… but in France known for its cast iron tradition. We own 18th century French anvil won at an antique auction which is our proud possession so happy to score more in heavy casts.
This may not show on the store website that well but they’re actually old gold colour. It’s lightweight thin metal so perhaps inside or sheltered outdoor space would suit them the best as it may rust out & some fragile parts of the tail break exposed to the weather. They’re as large as described, cleverly designed for packaging - legs are separate with tightening screw. They make an impact due to their size & fit almost any decor with the colour & style.
I was so happy with Chateau Living. Brilliant customer service & speedy delivery. How lucky we are to have an Australian option giving us all these beautiful items for our homes. Highly recommend
I bought this piece as I could see it in my mind's eye having an suspended impact with my high end Brazilian quartz crystal display. Such a well made piece, sturdy and if I didn't know better, from another time. I am planning a candle holder from Chateau Living to complete this display, just having trouble deciding from the elegant range they have available. Very pleased :) Who would have thought you could combine Brazil with French Provincial so perfectly.
