New Orleans Gas Lanterns

Make a statement on your home with something that truly says “New Orleans”

Culture, music, food, commerce, and history: New Orleans has a lot to offer both residents and tourists. What could be a better souvenir from a trip to the Big Easy than a New Orleans style gas lantern? More tasteful than plastic beads, more pleasant than a hangover, and more permanent (hopefully!) than a few extra pounds from the delicious cuisine, a gas lantern brings a little bit of the New Orleans culture and beauty to your home, regardless of its proximity to the great port city.

Traditional Style

The New Orleans style gas lanterns look very similar to the original gas lanterns used in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to light homes and streets in the bustling city. Simple in structure, these four-sided glass enclosures topped with an angled copper roof and handle are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Just like the originals, the modern New Orleans style lanterns can be hung or mounted based on your preferences. Additionally, they come in variety of sizes.
