Inject vintage style into your home and garden with NEW beautiful birdcage lanterns from The Hanging Lantern Company

Leading online provider of paper lanterns, tissue pom poms, parasols and fans, The Hanging Lantern Company (www.hanginglanterns.co.uk), has launched a new range of vintage inspired decorative birdcage lanterns.

The ideal decoration to incorporate vintage style into your home, these elegant cream white paper birdcage lanterns are hand made in the UK from the finest of papers and available in three sizes (170mm, 235mm and 300mm in diameter). Should you have a specific colour in mind to match your home interior palette, you can even use The Hanging Lantern Company’s studio to create made to order lanterns, choosing from 50 colours.

Each lantern includes a wire-free, battery powered LED light, which can be switched on and off as required to illuminate the lantern, casting beautiful shadows and creating a soft, soothing ambience. Incredibly versatile, the birdcage lanterns look amazing unlit and lit, when hung or displayed free standing, which means they can be used in so many ways…

• Hang them from trees to give your summer garden party a dreamy, whimsical look
• Use them as stylish and elegant table centrepieces - you could weave silk flowers around the bars or fill the interior with colourful feathers or flower petals to dress up your dinner party table
• Cluster the three sizes and place them around your home, switching on the LED lights in the evening to highlight special features, illuminate key areas and cast stunning shadows
• Use them as a beautiful finishing touch in your child’s bedroom

“Lighting can be both functional and beautiful with our birdcage lanterns,” comments Aimee Payne, Style Advisor at The Hanging Lantern Company. “We’re thrilled to be adding the new birdcage lanterns to our collection of paper lanterns. As the long summer days drift into night, the illuminated birdcage lanterns add a touch of vintage elegance to your garden parties, whether you wish to define a pathway, draw attention to a focal point in the garden, or dress up your table with an elegant centrepiece. Shabby chic in their style, they are an inexpensive but impactful decoration for use inside or out, and a great way to create a romantic atmosphere through soft lighting without the need for electricity and wires.”

Each paper birdcage lantern comes with easy to follow assembly instructions and a white ribbon with decorative bead should you wish to hang the lanterns. They also include a battery powered LED light featuring an on/off switch, with a battery life of 36-48 hours. The LED light is replaceable, which means you can use the birdcage lanterns time and time again. There is also an option to have a Candle Flicker effect LED light, giving the impression of natural candle light but without the fire hazard.

Paper birdcage lanterns are available from The Hanging Lantern Company priced from only £12.95, visit www.hanginglanterns.co.uk or call 0845 465 5585.
