The Intersection of Artistry and Architecture.
When quality matters and only the best will do, the Lafayette Handcrafted Copper Lantern makes a definitive statement. Featuring an intricate, arched cathedral-style overlay, this lantern embodies Old World craftsmanship with a level of detail that transforms functional lighting into a work of art. Individually forged by master artisans, the Lafayette is designed for those who seek a classic, high-end aesthetic that stands out from the crowd.
Versatile Luxury: Indoor & Outdoor
The Lafayette’s timeless design allows it to harmonize with a variety of architectural styles, whether used as a primary outdoor fixture or a sophisticated interior accent:
Exterior Grandeur: Elevate your curb appeal by using the Lafayette as a wall-mounted or post-mount lantern. Forged from solid, heavy-gauge copper, it is built to endure the elements while developing a rich, natural patina that increases in beauty over the years.
Interior Centerpiece: Bring the warmth of handcrafted metal into your home as a chain-hung pendant. It is an exceptional choice for kitchen island lighting, grand hallways, or dining rooms where a touch of historic elegance is required.

Full Range of Sizes: Available from a discreet Mini to a commanding Triple Grande. We also specialize in custom sizes to fit specific architectural niches or soaring ceilings.
Gas or Electric: Choose the traditional, living glow of a natural gas flame or the modern efficiency and brightness of an electric configuration.

***Either natural gas or propane gas fixtures requires an ON/OFF Auto-Ignition and a 110 line voltage which allows you to operate your gas lantern with a light switch or other device. Otherwise, the lantern will remain lit 24/7
-
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.
-
