Latticework Candle Lanterns

The New York Botanical Garden in association with Lunt Silversmiths, a leader in innovative silver design, has developed a distinctive collection of tableware, decorative accessories, and gifts inspired by some of the finest examples of botanical art in the Rare Book Collections of the Garden’s LuEsther T. Mertz Library. Combining beautiful botanical imagery with a modern sensibility, these exquisitely crafted pieces are objects to be treasured as heirlooms.

The bold and beautiful silver plate latticework candle lanterns are inspired by ornamental garden bridge designs for European gardens in William Halfpenny’s Rural Architecture in the Chinese Taste, published in London in 1752. Measuring 16” and 10” tall, these striking lanterns have a prong in the center to hold a pillar candle steady.
