Moroccan Lights

Traditional Moroccan lights are brought right up to date in these stunning lanterns. Typically, they feature fretted, pierced metalwork with colored and textured glass panels that provide subdued and romantic light.

Use these ornate lanterns to create just the mood you want. They can be used in living rooms and hallways, dining rooms for romantic dinners, for suspended lighting over kitchen islands, or even in the bedroom for a romantic tryst. They're also perfect for using outside -- on patios and in gardens and along walkways -- as the lantern sides will protect the candle from blowing out.

I've chosen a variety of lanterns, some for hanging, some for tabletops and some floor-standing models, all in a variety of colors and metallic finishes, so there are plenty to choose from.

Go with just one for a beautiful accent or hang several ... or a bunch -- of lanterns around your home, patio, garden or yard to really enhance the mood . Using all the same style and color of glass makes for a gorgeous, uniform look, or you can choose to go with a mix of colors for a different but equally compelling atmosphere.

Turn sunlight into evening light with this gorgeous solar powered lantern in the style of ancient Moraccan lamps. The solar panel lets the lantern charge up over the day and, when dusk falls, the sensor will turn the lamp on.

Moroccan lights make wonderful centerpieces for parties, formal occasions and weddings too. You can also use them on a buffet or around an outdoor event that will last into the evening.
