Candle lanterns in traditional designs

Traditional designs of decorative candle lanterns include: 

• Hurricane lanterns. These are square or rectangular shaped candle lanterns made from glass with a metal or wood frame. Simple in design, these lanterns invoke a feeling of warmth and remembrance of a simpler past. They are available in less expensive aluminum trim, or more expensive models with bronze or hardwood trims to match your decor or the mood you wish to create.
• Railroad lanterns. These lanterns are the round lanterns with red trim that you may have seen in old movies. While not technically a decorative candle lantern, they can be used to create or enhance a rustic look.
• English and French Gothic designs. These candle lanterns can be found in table, wall, and hanging styles. Whether they are crafted in simple elegance or ornate patterns, they create a mood of romance and longing for a time that no longer exists.
• Holiday themed candle lanterns. Halloween brings candle lanterns in the shapes of pumpkins, skulls, and black cats. A flickering candle flame provides an eerie mood to match the holiday. Skull shaped lanterns are also available online for Day of the Dead celebrations, a traditional Mexican holiday celebrated in early November.
• Christmas brings a feeling of warmth and comfort, so the glow of a candle lantern is perfect for Christmas decor. Christmas or Old English themed decorative candle lanterns are available in online Christmas shops in a range of prices and designs.
