CUSTOM LIGHTING REDEFINED
The Cartagena Lantern Collection: Spanish Colonial Majesty & Tall Roman Elegance
Introduce the soaring grandeur of a historic Iberian villa, the classic proportions of Roman architecture, and a rich layer of old-world romance to your estate with the Cartagena Copper Lantern. Inspired by the tall, stately silhouettes that defined the golden age of Spanish colonial design, this extraordinary fixture showcases custom architectural lighting at its finest. Characterized by its elongated multi-sided cage, magnificent tiered dome, and intricate chimney crown, the Cartagena lantern brings a comforting, warm radiance to your home while serving as a high-end introduction to elite estate illumination.
Individually Handcrafted in the USA
When quality matters and only the best will do, the Cartagena collection delivers an exceptional standard of structural artistry. Each fixture is individually handcrafted in the USA by custom design specialists who forge, shape, and detailed premium heavy-gauge copper entirely by hand. Engineered as a true legacy investment, this lantern marries delicate, graceful lines with rugged durability, ensuring it anchors your property with upscale character and flawless service for decades to come.
Stately Elongated Profile & Roman Architectural Crown
The Cartagena redefines luxury estate styling by combining a soaring vertical presence with timeless structural elements:
-
The Tall Spanish Colonial Silhouette: The centerpiece of this design is its elongated, tapered multi-sided cage. This towering glass configuration stretches the illumination vertically, creating a dramatic and elegant look that maximizes light output while commanding attention from a distance.
-
Intricate Tiered Cupola & Chimney Vent: The lantern is balanced beautifully by a magnificent tiered dome cap, crowned with a stylized, perforated chimney cupola and a classic ball finial. This sophisticated roofline recalls ancient Roman villas and classical architecture, adding a sense of stately grandeur to the fixture.
-
Versatile Placement & Sturdy Wall Bracket: Suspended cleanly from a robust backplate and supported by an elegant bottom scroll arm, the lantern positions itself as a structural masterpiece. It adapts beautifully wherever more light is needed—floating effortlessly as a premium kitchen island light or ceiling pendant, or adding welcoming warmth to entry porches and estate masonry pillars (pictured beautifully on a rustic stone column).
Tailored to Your Design
We believe elite illumination should be an exact reflection of your home's unique design vocabulary. The Cartagena collection features a comprehensive range of custom options:
-
Authentic Power Configurations: Set your preferred lighting mood with multiple electric Edison and Candelabra multi-bulb configurations (pictured with a striking, warm-filament centerpiece bulb), or select traditional gas lighting options for a flickering natural flame.
-
Unlimited Finish Colors: Personalize the copper framework with unlimited finish color choices—from the highly refined, weathered verdigris patinated finish pictured, to a living raw copper, rich hand-rubbed bronze, or a crisp matte black.
-
Premium Glass Varieties: Customize the texture of your illumination with numerous glass options, including Clear (pictured), Seedy, Antique, Water, Mirror, Frosted, or No Glass.
-
Flexible Mounting Options: The Cartagena architecture scales beautifully across your entire estate layout, offering structural configurations for ceiling and wall mounts (pictured), as well as column, pier, and post mounts.
-
Proportional Scaling: Available in an array of standard sizes from Mini to Triple Grande, alongside fully custom design sizes tailored to your precise space.

An auto-ignition on/off option is available, just put a timer on it and you have complete control over when your lights come on and goes off, also saving on gas. For those who prefer copper electric lanterns we offer the Edison Base Sockets or a Candelabra Cluster for a beautiful light appeal.

Why Choose a St. James Lantern?
-
Individually Hand-Crafted to meet your needs:
-
You get exactly what you want for your indoor and outdoor lighting needs because YOU design your light from 6 beautiful finishes, 4 glass options, 3-5 sizes depending upon the style & 5 electric options.
-
Hand-Crafted Quality second to none:
St. James Lights are called “lifetime fixtures” because when you purchase a St. James Lantern or Chandelier, you are making an investment that will last a lifetime and will be the last light fixtures you will ever need to buy. Each light is individually hand-crafted and inspected to ensure that you receive the highest quality lantern or chandelier available anywhere in the world.
-
Elegant Looks and Beauty:
Designed and engineered to set the standard for elegant lighting, St. James Lights increase in beauty as the copper ages.
-
Durability and Longevity:
St. James Lighting are made from the best copper mined in the U.S., which has a projected life of 300 years. Less expensive zinc or aluminum metals are not used. Expensive copper brazing rods are used versus cheaper soldering methods and an expensive riveting machine is used versus cheaper and faster pop rivet methods used by many.
-
Made in America:
We are proud to be American made in Columbia, Mississippi and 100% of every part is made in the USA. No parts or assembly come from China, like many do.
-
