Entry columns (aka Piers) add an elegant touch and plenty of curb appeal to driveways. The circle drive pictured above is defined by two mixed brick, square columns with curved buttresses topped with our 16 inch wide, generously proportioned column mounted Cottage Lantern. This exterior lantern is substantial and traditional, durably constructed of heavy grade brass in our Milwaukee, Wisconsin studio. Heavy duty pier mounting to the cut stone abacus ensures stability in high winds and harsh weather for this inviting exterior light fixture. Our ever popular Cottage Lantern has its design origins in the 1880‘s Shingle Style houses built along the New England coast. It is also fitting for English Tudor, Cottage Style, American Foursquare, Arts & Crafts, Craftsman and many other traditional architectural styles of American homes. The residents of this home chose our handsome Architectural Bronze finish, classic Clear Seeded art glass panels, and Windowpane overlay for an overall historic and stately ambiance for the Cottage Lanterns. Coordinating lanterns between the driveway entrance, front porch and patio columns helps define space and unifies the large yard.
