  Medieval Lantern, Mild Steel II

  SKU: AH6282

  A lantern was an efficient way to get past the darkness of night or dark dungeon corridors, and this reproduction is crafted in mild steel with a black forged finish.

  The word lantern reaches English via French from the Latin lanterna, itself possibly rooted in Greek, and an older English spelling, “lanthorn,” reflects the material most early lanterns relied on for their windows: thinly sliced, polished animal horn, translucent enough to pass a warm, diffused glow while shielding the flame from wind and rain. This version offers an alternative build to our other mild steel lantern, keeping the same practical, everyday medieval form.

  Deepeeka’s reproduction brings that essential piece of medieval lighting to your own camp, part of our historical camp range.
