Rows of four-petal blossoms, set between scalloped arches, stretch across all four sides of this long rectangular lantern, each flower centered on a small metal eyelet and the lower edge finished with a pierced trim. Handcarved from raw cedar by DE-COR artisans in Rajasthan, India, it is the longest lantern in Chhaya, our floral jali collection named for the Hindi word for shadow, and it recalls the long jali screens of the region's old havelis. The unfinished wood keeps its pale natural tone, and light moving through the openwork lays a lattice of small shadows across the ceiling and table below.
At 30 inches long, 10 inches deep and 14 inches tall, it hangs level from two 3 foot chains over a dining table, a kitchen island or a long console. It is not electrified, so it hangs as a carved object or holds flameless candles for evening light. Minor wear, scuffs and blemishes come with hand carving and are part of its character.

Q&A
1. How do I hang a two-chain pendant so it sits level?
Set the two ceiling hooks the same distance apart as the chain mounts on top of the lantern, then match the chain lengths link for link. Check the lantern with a small level before you remove your support.
2. Which Chhaya lantern suits a long table?
This one. At 30 inches wide it hangs level on two chains over a dining table, a kitchen island or a long console, where the smaller Chhaya cubes would be hung as a pair.
