Mr Darcy Rabbit Lantern
75.00$
- The lantern is real metal and it will pick up a bit of rust colour at the hinge if it lives outside in the rain, that is normal and it wipes off.
- And the glass in the lantern is thin, so if he tips over the glass is the part that breaks, not the rabbit.
Wipe with a damp cloth. Don’t pressure wash him.
- Approx H34 x W19 x D19 cm
- Polyresin rabbit, metal and glass lantern
- 2.35 kg, heavy enough for a balcony
- Holds one standard tealight, not included
- Cream stone finish, shade varies a little piece to piece
Check the lantern glass on arrival, if it comes cracked send us a photo the same day.
Lord Krishna loved rabbits, similar to cows, and showed his great affection on them. This lovely piece stands about 34 cm tall on his back legs, nose up, holding a small metal lantern in both paws like he is waiting for someone to get home. The body is polyresin in a pale cream stone finish, with the fur carved in so the whole thing has texture, you can see it in the ears and down the back. The lantern is separate, dark bronze metal with four glass sides and it hooks onto his paws. It takes one tealight.
Tealight is not in the box, please buy your own, any standard one from the kirana will fit.
Weight Is 2.35 KG
Cheaper resin rabbits are hollow and light, one gust of wind and they are face down in the flower bed. This one stays put. Ours has been sitting on a garden stool through two Bangalore monsoons and it hasn’t shifted, the finish has gone a shade more grey which honestly suits him.
Where people keep him:
Balcony corner next to the plants, the landing outside the front door, garden path if you have one. Indoors he works on a shoe rack or at the bottom of the stairs. Put a tealight in on Diwali night or Christmas or whenever there is a moment on the terrace and he does his job. Kids love him, my nephew calls him Kharghosh Uncle, so be warned he might get named.

Celestial Candle Holder
Where it goes. Bedside, definitely. Puja shelf if you want a tealight there instead of an open diya, the base catches the wax. Bathroom window ledge, oddly, because the frosted glass suits a bathroom. Study desk. Not the dining table, it is too small, it gets lost among the plates.
Dry cloth only. Don't use Pitambari or any brass polish on it, that will strip the pewter finish and turn the sun's face shiny in patches. The stones are glued, so no soaking.
- Approx 10 cm tall, 15 cm wide, 7 cm deep.
- Cast metal, pewter finish, frosted glass back panel.
- Five blue rhinestone stars.
- Holds one standard tealight in the base recess, tealight not included.
- Finish varies a little piece to piece.
Gold Multi Tea Light Holder
Centre of a dining table for a proper dinner, Eid, Diwali, a birthday where the phone lights are off. A console table in the entrance. A mantel if you have one. In a small flat it can look like too much, so keep the rest of the table plain, a white cloth and nothing else and it carries the room on it's own.
Use ivory or white candles. Coloured ones cheapen it. And don't let the candles burn right down into the cups, the heat is not good for the finish.
Wipe with a soft dry cloth only. Water will lift the foil at the edges.
- Three cups for standard dinner candles, not tealights.
- Approx 30 cm tall, 25 cm wide across the arms.
- Resin body with gold foil finish, rococo scrollwork.
- Finish has a deliberately aged, uneven look, varies piece to piece.
- Candles not included.
