(from the left)  Beautiful for an entryway, this wrought-iron electric light boasts a New Orleans style. Custom made at Lamp Works in Little Rock. Stately and classic, this lantern from Lighting Emporium in Springdale will stand the test of time.

 

(from the left) From Ken Rash's of Arkansas, this white wooden lantern is cottage-chic with its square design. Created from the misprinted sheet metal of soda cans and containers, this lantern by Recletic is truly one-of-a-kind. Available at Full Moon in Little Rock. The petite size and bright colors of these birdhouse-inspired candleholders are too cute to pass up. Available in a variety of colors at Haus Werk in Little Rock. Ideal for a tabletop inside or out, this long cylindrical lantern features an apple-green glass mosaic. Available at Full Moon in Little Rock. Bright blue metal accents pop against the rounded glass design of this hurricane, and its roomy inside can support a large candle. Available at Pottery Barn locations statewide.
