New Arrivals: Northeast Lantern Wall Lanterns at Newport Lamp & Shade

At Newport Lamp & Shade Company, we’re always curating pieces that balance timeless craftsmanship with enduring design. We’re excited to introduce three new additions from Northeast Lantern to our collection: the Kensington, Exeter, and Hamilton wall lanterns.

Each fixture is handcrafted in New England and designed to elevate exterior spaces with understated elegance and exceptional durability—making them ideal for coastal homes, historic properties, and refined modern builds alike.

Why Northeast Lantern?

Northeast Lantern is known for producing heirloom-quality lighting using solid brass, copper, and hand-applied finishes. These fixtures are not mass-produced—they’re built to age beautifully, developing a natural patina over time that enhances their character.

For homeowners and designers in coastal Rhode Island and beyond, these lanterns offer both aesthetic appeal and long-term performance in demanding outdoor environments.

The Kensington Wall Lantern

The Kensington is a study in classic proportion and traditional design. With its clean lines and balanced silhouette, it complements a wide range of architectural styles—from Colonial to Coastal.

Key features:

• Timeless rectangular frame with clear glass panels.
• Available in multiple finishes including antique brass and oil-rubbed bronze.
• Ideal for entryways, garage exteriors, and formal front facades.

This is a go-to choice if you want something refined without feeling overly ornate.

The Exeter Wall Lantern

The Exeter introduces a slightly more transitional feel while maintaining the craftsmanship Northeast Lantern is known for. Its subtle detailing makes it versatile enough for both classic and updated homes.

Key features:

• Slightly tapered form for a more modern profile.
• Handcrafted metalwork with premium finish options.
• Works well flanking doors or along exterior corridors.

If your aesthetic leans clean but still warm and inviting, the Exeter strikes that balance beautifully.

The Hamilton Wall Lantern

The Hamilton is the most distinctive of the three, offering a bold yet elegant presence. Its proportions and detailing make it ideal for larger-scale homes or statement applications.

Key features:

• Strong architectural lines with a substantial feel.
• Designed to anchor larger entryways or outdoor living spaces.
• Available in a range of sizes for cohesive exterior lighting plans.

This is the lantern you choose when you want to make a confident design statement.

Choosing the Right Outdoor Lantern

When selecting exterior lighting, consider:

• Scale: Your lantern should match the size of your door or façade.
• Finish: Coastal environments benefit from durable materials like brass and copper.
• Light output: Ensure proper illumination for both safety and ambiance.
• Placement: Symmetry often works best for entryways and garages.

Our team at Newport Lamp & Shade Company can help you select the right size, finish, and configuration to suit your home.

Northeast Lantern Wall Lanterns FAQ

What makes Northeast Lantern wall lanterns different?

Northeast Lantern wall lanterns are handcrafted in New Hampshire from solid brass and copper, creating heirloom‑quality exterior lighting that is built to last for decades. The fixtures feature hand‑applied, living finishes that develop a natural patina over time, giving your home a timeless, authentic look rather than the chipping or peeling you see with many mass‑produced outdoor lights.

Are Northeast Lantern wall lanterns good for coastal or harsh climates?

Yes, Northeast Lantern wall lanterns are an excellent choice for coastal homes and harsh New England weather. Their solid brass and copper construction is designed to withstand salt air and moisture, allowing the fixtures to develop a protective patina instead of rusting, flaking, or fading like many painted outdoor wall lights.

What finishes and glass options are available for Northeast Lantern wall lanterns?

Northeast Lantern offers a curated range of hand‑applied finishes, including Antique Brass, Dark Antique Brass, Dark Brass, Verdi Gris, and Antique Copper. These finishes can be paired with clear, seedy, or other textured glass options so you can coordinate your wall lanterns with your exterior hardware, trim colors, and overall architectural style.

Are Northeast Lantern wall lanterns customizable?

Yes, many Northeast Lantern wall lanterns can be customized to suit your home. Depending on the style, you can often choose the finish, glass type, and sometimes even the size, making it easy to get the right scale and look for your front entry, garage, or patio. Because each fixture is made to order by skilled craftspeople in New Hampshire, the line works especially well for projects that demand a tailored, high‑end result.

Do Northeast Lantern fixtures come with a warranty?

Northeast Lantern offers a lifetime guarantee on their fixtures under normal use, which speaks to the quality of their solid brass and copper construction. Glass, electrical components, and finish are typically excluded from the lifetime warranty, but if a fixture fails due to a defect in workmanship, it can be repaired or, when needed, replaced.

How do I choose the right size Northeast Lantern wall lantern for my front door?

A good rule of thumb for front door lighting is to choose a wall lantern that is about one‑third to one‑quarter the height of your door. For taller or double doors, slightly larger lanterns often look more balanced and welcoming, creating the right scale for the architecture and providing better illumination for your entry.

Can Northeast Lantern wall lanterns be used indoors as well as outdoors?

Yes, many Northeast Lantern wall lanterns and sconces are beautiful indoors as well as outdoors. They work especially well in entry halls, stairways, hallways, and powder rooms where you want the warm, atmospheric glow of a traditional lantern silhouette, and using the same collection inside and out can create a cohesive, designer‑level look throughout your home.

How should Northeast Lantern wall lanterns be installed?

Northeast Lantern wall lanterns should always be installed by a licensed electrician and mounted to a properly supported junction box that can handle the weight of a solid brass or copper fixture. For exterior installations, the backplate and junction box should be sealed correctly to help protect the electrical connections and keep the fixture secure over time.

How do I clean and care for the finish on Northeast Lantern wall lanterns?

Northeast Lantern uses living finishes that are meant to age naturally, so they do not require polishing or harsh chemical cleaners. In most cases, simple care—like gently dusting the fixture and occasionally wiping it with a soft, damp cloth—is all that is needed, allowing the patina to deepen and evolve as part of the lantern’s character.
