FAQs
Does the lantern come with a candle?
No, the lantern is sold as a decor piece and does not include a candle or light source.
Can I leave this outside in the rain?
It is made of natural rattan, so we recommend keeping it in a dry or covered outdoor space to prevent degradation from direct rain.
What type of candle should I use?
Battery-operated LED candles are the safest and recommended option. If using a real wax candle, please use a glass hurricane insert to protect the rattan.
How do I clean the lantern?
Light dusting with a soft cloth or a vacuum brush attachment is usually sufficient to keep the lantern looking its best.
Is the finish water-resistant?
The greywash finish is decorative; it does not provide a waterproof coating to the rattan fibers.
Troubleshooting
Lantern appears dusty or dull
Use a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment to gently remove dust from the intricate rattan weave.
Lantern wobbles on uneven surface
Ensure the surface is level; if the base is uneven, use small furniture felt pads under one side to stabilize it.
Rattan shows signs of moisture exposure
Move to a dry area and allow to air dry completely. If mold spots appear, gently clean with a diluted vinegar solution and dry thoroughly in the sun.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply place the lantern on a stable, flat surface where it won't be knocked over. It is compatible with various light sources, including pillar candles (inside a glass sleeve) and LED flameless candles. To care for your lantern, wipe it down periodically with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust from the weave. If the lantern is used outdoors, it is highly recommended to store it in a dry shed or garage during periods of heavy rain or winter months to maintain the longevity of the rattan material.
