ORIENTAL LANTERNS
Lighted Nylon Covered Garden, Patio & Party Lanterns (assembled)

The Chinese calligraphies on our Light Scamps® Oriental Lanterns were designed by the most famous calligrapher, Wang Hsi-Chih (ca. 303-361 Chin Dynasty), in Chinese History. During his time he studied the works of all the masters from old to new. He fused these works with standard, running and cursive scripts to create an ideal form of calligraphy. Through the influence of Wang Hsi-Chih, calligraphy was elevated to an art form and is seen an an embodiment of the mind and personality of the writer. Although only a few of his original works exist today, they are considered to be "The masterpieces for all time". They have been studied by generations of students as models to learn and practice the art of calligraphy. Today, Wang Hsi-Chih is known as the "Immortal Calligrapher".

The four splendid gold Chinese characters seen on all 4 lanterns represent the most important things for most Chinese households. The first character is pronounced "Fok" meaning happiness. The others are pronounced "Luk" meaning prosperity, "Sau" meaning longevity and "Tsuen" meaning fullness/completeness. Chinese households like to place these phrases on the walls of their homes or on lanterns, as a prayer to have their household filled with happiness, prosperity, and longevity.

Oriental Lanterns


Unlike traditional Chinese rice paper lanterns, our oriental lanterns are designed for indoor AND outdoor use. The difference is we use a UV treated weather resistant nylon cover instead of rice paper, which can be ruined by rain, wind, or snow. And ours light up, with the lights included!

Perfect for outdoor trees, weddings and parties, patios and gardens, porches and overhangs, boats and campers, apartment balconies, gazebos, or anywhere your imagination takes you.

Each set contains 1-10" diameter hanging Oriental lantern decoration, patented frames that hold the lights away from the covering, hanging cord, and a UV treated weather resistant nylon cover in one of four great colors with 4 silk-screened chinese calligraphy characters in gold plus matching wind tassels. Included are a set a 18 mini lights with end to end connectors. (Lights pre-attached to assembled collapsible folding frame)




Dimensions :
10" x 10" x 17"


Below is the framework that is inside the lantern (under the covering). There are 18 mini lights attached to the frame.
