The use of lanterns date back as far as 250 B.C in China and it began its introduction with paper lanterns which is still popularized in Japan
History shows that the forerunner of Chinese lanterns was torches carried by the Buddhist monks on the eve of New Years day sometime in the 250 B.C. Later, Chinese common people began creating lanterns with frames of bamboo, redwood or wire and wrapped with thin, oiled paper, gauze or silk.

Today, although its primary purpose is to light homes and patio, most candle lanterns are made for decorative purposes and is very popular. Since its creation in ancient times candle lanterns have been innovated in various ways. Gone are the fireflies in transparent cages, as well as bamboo frames (for the fact that it’s dangerous), but the idea of wire frames, now with coverings of modern materials, remained.
A typical candle lantern now is made of metal, tin or pewter, wrought iron brass and they are all in different styles and shapes – rectangular, hanging, lantern stands, Moroccan. Although many lanterns still employ candles to light it up technology have made possible for electric-powered or battery-powered lanterns.
Still the exquisiteness and timelessness of candle lanterns are more popular than any other lanterns right now. It’s no longer that hazardous as the ancient time for most lantern frames are made of non-flammable materials. Once you have it at home you will have the feel of the age-old era especially when the designs replicates the historical figures and landscapes of olden times.
