carriage lamp

Vehicle-mounted lantern

A carriage lamp is a lantern designed to be mounted on the exterior of a horse-drawn carriage, providing light for nighttime travel.

The style—typically featuring glass panes in a metal frame—has been widely adapted for decorative outdoor lighting on homes, garages, and porches: The carriage lamps flanking the front door give the house a colonial feel.
