The elegant round shape of the body is punctuated with round holes, which allow the candlelight to shimmer through mysteriously. The metal body is hand-hammered one piece at a time and every hole is individually cut out and polished to a smooth finish before Destello is nickel plated. These lanterns can be hung up or placed on a table or on the floor. Please note that if used outdoors the nickel plate of the lantern can become dull in places.
