Ten Reasons Why I Love our Copper & Brass Lanterns

I like to think we are different kind of retailer. We care about the products that we carry and do a lot of research and consideration before bringing a product line on board. When possible we visit and tour where they are made. This gives us better insight into the products we represent.  We have discontinued products that we thought of low quality or manufactures that were unable to offer the proper support and customer service. 

That being said - I want to give you the reasons why I absolutely love the line of copper & brass lanterns available at the Cape Cod Weathervane Company 

1) Made in the USA

2)  Underwriters Laboratories (UL) tested and approved. 

3) We are able (and willing) to customize and modify most models. 

4) Hand Blown Glass

5) Thicker & more durable glass than any mass produced lighting line 

6) Timeless design that never go out of style

7)  Ease of changing light bulbs (thumb screws allow the entire cage to be removed from the             onion lantern) 

8)  Wash your Onion globe in the dishwasher (by the same folks who created #7)

9)  Copper or Brass + 5 finishes + four glass options = endless possibilities 

10) Lifetime Warranty !!

New Lantern Model: The Frosted Onion

This is so new, its not on our website yet.  I know I'm jumping the gun here, but so many of you have been waiting, I decided to post the picture and hope to get it posted to the website in the next week with specs, pricing, and options. Keep an eye out on our Onion Lantern page or call us for more info. 

So what is the big deal, you may be asking yourself ??  Well can you say compact fluorescent light (CFL) ? People want to use these energy efficient lights, but they look lousy in a nice onion light fixture. That's where the Frosted Onion comes into play. The frosted glass obscures the unsightly CFL bulb while uniformly diffusing the light.

Copper & Brass Onion Lanterns

Our lanterns have been a big hit, not a day goes by that we don't get a call from someone looking for our guidance on choosing the best fixture. I'm amazed (and thankful) at the number of people out west that have some connection to Cape Cod and/or New England and want to add a little of the new England feel to their home. I guess that's why our Onion lantern line is so popular. And with good reason- these are so well made and we believe in them so much that they come with a lifetime warranty. They are designed and able to be used outside or indoors, The are UL approved (with labels to prove it), available in five different sizes, a wide range of copper & brass finishes as well as glass options. About once a month we get people walking in the showroom or calling looking to replace the cheap fixtures that were bought at the big box stores. They just don't hold up like ours do. The brass plating over steel tend to pit and peel quicker than the weather changes. Cages become loose, and joints become unsoldered. We are proud of our onion lanterns and invite you to consider the best next time your in need of a copper brass onion lantern from Cape Cod Weathervanes.
