tin lanterns
Punched metal lamps
Tin lanterns are decorative light holders made from tin or tinplate, typically featuring punched or pierced patterns that allow light to shine through in ornamental designs.
They range from rustic folk art pieces with simple star or heart patterns to elaborate Moroccan-style lamps.
The tin reflects and diffuses candlelight or electric bulbs, casting patterned shadows: We hung tin lanterns on the porch for the party.
