When quality matters and only the best will do, the Chesapeake offers style and design with quality you can see in every hand-forged scroll and precision-soldered copper seam.
Whether you are looking to frame a grand entrance or add a touch of historic luxury to your interior, the Chesapeake is designed for spaces that demand architectural authority.
Versatility and Lighting Sophistication
The Chesapeake is as functional as it is beautiful, offering unique options to customize how your space is illuminated.
Top Customization: Choose between a Solid Copper Top for a traditional, focused glow or a Glass Top to invite additional upward light and an extra layer of lighting elegance.
Commanding Exterior Presence: Its sturdy construction makes it the definitive choice for high-visibility wall mounts, structural column mounts, or as a stately post mount lantern that anchors your home's curb appeal.
Refined Interior Focus: Bring the warmth of a handcrafted heirloom indoors. Used as a chain-hung pendant, the Chesapeake serves as a stunning centerpiece over kitchen islands, in breakfast nooks, or hanging in a vaulted foyer.
Gas or Electric: Tailor the mood with a modern Electric multi-bulb cluster for brilliance, or the captivating, organic flicker of an authentic Gas flame for unmatched historic character.

Why Choose St. James Lights?
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, natural gas, propane or 5 electric options and 8 different mounting brackets.
- 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 Lights 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.
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.
