Carolina Lanterns

We specialize in handcrafted copper lanterns that do not rust, pit, or lose color and can be fueled by natural gas, propane or electricity.

The most popular styles are exact reproductions of specific gas lights found on historic Charleston buildings dating back to the 1850’s.

Each copper lantern is named for the area of Charleston from which they were borrowed, such as: The Ashley Avenue, The High Battery, The Tradd Street, and The St. Michael’s. And each style can be mounted in ways to conform to all homes, yards and outbuildings, whether the owner wants one copper lantern or outdoor lighting fixtures on every corner.

In five years Carolina Lanterns has grown so much that their customers extend to every state in the U.S. and into Canada There is simply no substitute for an original. When you take into account the graceful copper lanterns, the unbeatable customer service and the only place to find “the woman who was snubbed,” Carolina Lanterns is truly a Charleston Original. *The lanterns we sell are manufactured by companies dedicated to quality.
