coach lamp

Old vehicle lantern

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

The style—typically a rectangular or hexagonal enclosure with glass panels and a decorative metal frame—has been widely adapted for outdoor lighting on houses, particularly flanking front doors or garage entrances: The porch was lit by matching coach lamps.
