CUSTOM LIGHTING REDEFINED
The Onyx Lantern Collection: Box Geometry & Modern Estate Radiance
Introduce a commanding statement of clean architectural lines, structural sophistication, and a deeply welcoming glow to your property with The Onyx Copper Lantern. Breaking away from heavily ornamented traditional layouts, the Onyx celebrates the striking beauty of low-profile block geometry and bold gridwork panels. Engineered to showcase big lighting at its finest, this modern-primitive masterpiece acts as a beautifully framed window to a warm, comforting flame, serving as an elite, high-fashion introduction to luxury estate lighting that coordinates effortlessly across your entire layout.
Individually Handcrafted in the USA
When quality matters and only the best will do, The Onyx collection honors a rigorous standard of custom American craftsmanship. Each fixture is individually handcrafted in the USA by custom design specialists who meticulously cut, form, and seam premium heavy-gauge copper entirely by hand. Built with a rock-solid, fortress-grade chassis, its crisp, sharp lines, perfectly square corners, and heavy-duty seams are engineered to provide a lifetime of unyielding structural integrity, developing an even deeper historic character over decades of estate service.
Geometric Cross-Window Gridwork & Stately Pedestal Mounts
The Onyx redefines contemporary estate styling by combining clean, minimalist profiles with a commanding three-dimensional presence:
-
The Structural Windowpane Cross Grid: The defining signature of this masterpiece is its slender, hand-aligned copper window bars that form a perfect cross grid overlay across the front glass panel. This striking quadrant layout frames the internal light source beautifully, providing geometric depth without cluttering the light path.
-
Tiered Horizontal Block Caps & Bases: The rectangular cage is anchored at the top and bottom by heavy, multi-layered step moldings. This structural stepping gives the lantern a stately, monument-like weight that looks absolutely incredible when sitting flush as a column or pier mount (pictured beautifully on a clean stone ledge foundation).
-
Wide-Angle Panoramic Wash: Featuring an expansive, square-box frame design, this lantern provides an unhindered view of its inner core. The massive, flat glass planes allow the raw light to project outward forcefully, filling large entryways, gateway posts, or outdoor dining spaces with a wide, welcoming field of vision.
Tailored to Your Design Palette
We believe elite illumination should be an exact reflection of your home's unique design vocabulary. The Onyx collection features a comprehensive range of custom choices:
-
Authentic Power Configurations: Set your preferred lighting mood with traditional gas lighting options featuring a fiercely flickering natural open flame (pictured with an elegant, dual-stemmed brass gas burner tip), or select multiple electric Edison and Candelabra multi-bulb clusters.
-
Unlimited Finish Colors: Customize the premium copper framework with unlimited finish color choices—from the highly refined, heavily distressed antiqued pewter/dark silver finish pictured, to a living raw copper, rich hand-rubbed oil bronze, or a crisp architectural matte black.
-
Premium Glass Varieties: Control the diffusion and movement of your golden wash with numerous glass options, including Clear (pictured), Seedy, Antique, Water, Mirror, Frosted, or No Glass.
-
Flexible Mounting Layouts: While engineered here as a commanding column and pier mount, this adaptable architecture scales effortlessly across your entire floor plan, offering structural configurations for ceiling and wall mounts, as well as post mounts or ceiling-hung chain configurations as a dramatic kitchen island light pendant cluster.
-
Proportional Scaling: Available in an array of standard sizes ranging from Mini to Triple Grande, alongside fully custom design sizes tailored directly to your architect's precise blueprints.

***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.
-

Send us your plans, room sizes, ceiling heights or photos of your room, house or outdoor areas where you plan to install your lights and we will draft a customized lighting analysis which will give you the proper light size and style that will best complement your home or outdoor areas.
