Handcrafted lanterns, made in India for the world's retail shelves.
Hand-worked iron, brass, wood and glass lanterns — candle, hurricane, Moroccan, hanging and floor-standing — from India's iron and brass craft clusters. A perennial best-seller that carries high margin per cubic metre, nests to fill a container, and ships documented alongside your furniture in one compliant load.
The accessory shoppers never stop buying — and the margin that finishes a container.
Lanterns are a year-round impulse buy and a seasonal spike: candlelight, patios, weddings, festivals and gifting all pull demand. For a buyer that means fast turns, high mark-up per cubic metre, and an easy cross-merchandise next to furniture, planters and mirrors. We make them the way we make furniture — genuine handcraft, QC on every piece, and the import paperwork that lets the load clear customs without a pause.
A lantern range built to merchandise a whole display.
Order by style or by material. Each line ships as our ready ODM design or made to your own drawings, dimensions and finishes (OEM), with retail-ready, FBA-ready and gift packaging.
Iron Candle Lanterns
Hand-forged wrought iron in matte black, antique and galvanised finishes — the Jodhpur industrial-vintage signature.
Brass & Moroccan Lanterns
Hand-cast, pierced and etched brass from Moradabad — antique, polished and powder-coated jewel-tone finishes.
Glass Hurricane Lanterns
Metal frames with clear, frosted, seeded or coloured glass — wind-shielded candlelight for table and patio.
Wood & Metal Lanterns
Solid sheesham, mango and reclaimed wood married to iron and glass — warm, substantial statement pieces.
Floor & Hanging Lanterns
Oversized floor-standing and ceiling-hung lanterns for entryways, patios, hotel lobbies and event hire.
Marble, Stone & Tealight
Marble and stone bases with metal and glass tops, plus tealight and votive lanterns for gifting ranges.
Where the craft comes from — and why it travels.
A lantern is only as good as the metalwork and the finish. We draw on India's two great metal traditions through our own factory and a vetted manufacturing network, so a single order can carry iron and brass, wood and glass under one QC regime and one invoice.
Jodhpur — wrought iron & wood
Our core. Hand-forged iron and reclaimed and sheesham wood build the sturdy, industrial-vintage lanterns that define the Jodhpur look — honest materials, welded and riveted to last, finished in matte black, antique and galvanised tones.
Moradabad — brass & metal artware
India's brass city. Hand-cast, pierced, etched and hand-finished brass lanterns — Moroccan, filigree and classic hurricane forms — in antique, polished, powder-coated and jewel-tone finishes that machine-made goods cannot replicate.

Lanterns, consolidated with your order, cleared for your market.
Lanterns are efficient freight. Many designs nest or knock down flat, so they fill the gaps around bulky furniture and lift the value of a container without eating the cube. Glass panels are seated and cushioned in the pack; iron and brass bodies travel robustly. Because we source across clusters in-house, a single mixed load can carry dining tables, planters, mirrors and a full lantern range — packed to maximise density, documented once, and inspected to one standard.

Lanterns clear customs because the paperwork travels with them.
A lantern with a wood component is still subject to timber and import rules. We document FSC chain-of-custody and Vriksh timber-legality on wood-based lanterns, handle Dalbergia sissoo (sheesham) to CITES, and are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence. US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB / TSCA finishes and SEDEX / SMETA social audit are covered, with ISO and SGS inspection on the line.

Sourcing lanterns from India.
What kinds of lanterns do you manufacture and export?
We make hand-worked candle, hurricane, Moroccan, floor-standing, hanging and tabletop lanterns in wrought iron, brass, solid wood with metal, marble and stone, and glass. Finishes include antique, polished, matte black, powder-coated and galvanised, with clear, frosted, seeded and coloured glass. Ranges ship as our ODM catalogue designs or OEM to your own drawings, sizes and finishes.
What is the minimum order and lead time for lanterns?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL so you approve the make first. Thereafter one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum for best wholesale pricing, and we consolidate lanterns with other décor and furniture in one mixed container. Typical lead time is 30–45 days, with urgent orders available at a premium.
Are your lanterns compliant for import into the US and EU?
Yes. On any lantern with a wood component we document FSC chain-of-custody and Vriksh timber-legality and are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence. We support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB / TSCA finishes, SEDEX / SMETA social audit, and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing, with ISO and SGS inspection. Certificate numbers are shared directly with serious buyers.
Can you produce private-label and retail-ready lanterns?
Yes. We are both ODM and OEM — produce our catalogue or your own designs, dimensions, finishes and branding, with custom CNC and metalwork and custom, retail-ready, Amazon-FBA-ready, branded or gift packaging for Wayfair, Amazon, Etsy and chain-retail channels.
Which lantern materials ship best and fill a container well?
Flat-nesting and knockdown lantern designs maximise container density and cut freight per piece. Iron and brass lanterns are robust travellers; glass panels are seated and cushioned in the pack. Because lanterns carry high mark-up per cubic metre, they are an efficient way to fill the gaps around bulky furniture in a mixed load.
Where are your lanterns made and which markets do you supply?
They are made in India across the Jodhpur iron and Moradabad brass clusters, through our own factory and a vetted manufacturing network. We ship worldwide from Mundra / Nhava Sheva on FOB or CIF terms, with current buyers across the USA, Australia and the Netherlands and active expansion across the US, UK, EU and Gulf markets.
