A pierced metal lantern in worn copper and verdigris, the kind that throws rosettes of candlelight across a dark table once you set a flame inside.
Rachelle is a barrel-shaped candle lantern pressed and pierced from metal, finished in an antique copper warmed with verdigris green. The whole body is worked in a dense rosette and mandala pattern, banded twice with studded straps, and topped with an open rim and a swing handle for carrying or hanging.
Stand a candle or a battery tealight inside and the pierced pattern throws light across a wall or table. It is 33cm tall, 44cm with the handle up, and 24cm across, a real presence on a sideboard or mantel.
Why we love it
◆Moroccan lantern glow, the pierced rosettes scatter candlelight into patterns once it is lit, the reason to own a lantern like this.
◆Copper and verdigris, an aged finish with green patina over warm metal, like a piece that has seen a few years.
◆Carry or hang it, the swing handle lets you move it lit to a table or hook it from a stand or beam.
◆Candle or flameless, sized for a pillar candle or a battery tealight, indoors or on a covered veranda.

A few ways to use Rachelle:
Drop in a pillar candle or a battery tealight and dim the lights.
Hang it from a hook or stand by the handle for height.
Stylist's Tip
A real flame gives the best glow through the piercing, but a flickering battery tealight is the safe choice if you want to leave it lit and walk away. Set it against a dark surface so the light pattern reads.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry brush to lift dust out of the piercing, and wipe with a barely damp cloth, drying straight after. Keep it indoors or under cover, since steady damp will mark the finish. If you burn a real candle, let it cool before moving and never leave a flame unattended.
Frequently Asked Questions
What candle does it take?
A pillar or votive candle, or a battery tealight. The top is open, so a flameless light is the easy option if you want to leave it lit.
Can it go outside?
It can sit on a covered veranda, but it is happiest indoors. The finish will mark in steady damp or rain.
How big is it?
33cm tall, 44cm with the handle raised, and 24cm across. The handle swings up for carrying or hanging.
Does it have glass?
No glass. It is open metal piercing, so the candlelight shines straight through the pattern.
Will mine look like the photo?
Each lantern is hand-finished, so the depth of the copper and the green patina vary piece to piece. That variation is the look, not a fault.
Because Rachelle is hand-finished, the antique copper, the verdigris patina, and the surface marks vary from piece to piece and add to the character of each one. 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.
