Halvercombe Lantern Company

The Moth Lantern, £34.00. Small batches, folded by hand on Thursdays.

How we work

Every lantern starts as a single sheet of mulberry paper. We fold it slowly, crease by crease, until it holds its own shape without glue. A lantern takes most of an afternoon, so we make very few of them, and we stop when the paper runs out.

Details

Size: about the height of a teapot. Light: one warm bulb, included. Colour: undyed cream, which turns slightly golden with age. Care: keep it dry and away from curious cats.

We do not ship on rainy days, because the paper does not like it.
