By choosing a French House outdoor lantern you can be sure that it has been made by highly skilled artisans specialised in their field. We have now spent 12 years working with the second generation of this family business making outdoor lanterns.

Our unique lanterns are made to our designs by a small team headed by master lantern maker Louis who has been at the workshop for 26 years and knows a thing or two about creating templates, cutting metal and soldering to produce a beautiful lantern.

You can see Louis in the process of making a lantern from zinc. Once he has finished this part it will be given its aged finish by members of the team who know how to apply special chemicals. It will then be wired to meet IP44 outdoor standard and is ready to adorn your wall.
