Discover our fantastic collection of both modern and antique bedroom lanterns. With a great variety of periods, styles and sizes of lanterns available, it is easy to find one that is just right for you and your bedroom. Lanterns have often been a beloved addition to the home, with their unique glass encasing that allow for maximum light levels. Find your dream bedroom lantern light.
A bedroom lantern gives soft, even light with a sense of calm: hand blown glass held in warm metalwork, without the glare of an exposed bulb. Our bedroom lanterns range from compact pendants for standard ceilings to grand hall lanterns for period homes and high ceilings, and every piece is made – or hand-restored – in our Herefordshire workshop.
The Sellack Lantern is the versatile choice, a modular design that runs from a delicate 13cm pendant to a three-light centrepiece, while the Hereford Globe Hall Lantern makes a statement in larger rooms. For genuine period character, our scrolling antique gilt lantern is an original piece, hand-restored and re-wired by our team – one of a kind, so once it is gone, it is gone.
All of our own lantern designs are handmade to order, CE and UKCA certified for EU and UK use, and most can be dimmed with a compatible dimmer and LED bulbs. For more overhead options, explore our bedroom ceiling lights and bedroom chandeliers, or browse the full bedroom lighting collection.
Yes, lanterns are an excellent choice for bedrooms because their glass panels diffuse light softly and evenly, avoiding the harsh glare of an exposed bulb. A bedroom lantern gives enough light for getting ready while keeping the room calm and restful. Fritz Fryer bedroom lanterns range from compact pendants for standard ceilings to grand designs for high ceilings and period homes.
A bedroom lantern should match the ceiling height and the scale of the room. Standard-height bedrooms suit compact lanterns such as the smaller Sellack designs, while high-ceilinged or period bedrooms can carry larger pieces like the Hereford Globe Hall Lantern. As a guide, the lantern should feel like a feature without dominating the room – if in doubt, send us your room dimensions and we will advise.
Most of our bedroom lanterns are handmade to order in our Herefordshire workshop, using hand blown glass and solid brass fittings. The collection also includes genuine antiques, such as our scrolling antique gilt lantern, which are original pieces hand-restored and re-wired by our team rather than newly made. Every own-design lantern is CE and UKCA certified for EU and UK use.
A new Fritz Fryer bedroom lantern is our own design, handmade to order with a choice of glass and metal finishes, while an antique lantern is an original period piece restored and re-wired in our workshop. Antiques are one-off pieces with limited stock and unique character; our own designs can be reordered, matched to other fittings and customised to your scheme.
Yes, every antique lantern we sell is re-wired to modern standards in our on-site workshop before dispatch. The original metalwork and glass are preserved, but the electrical components are new. Restored pieces such as our scrolling antique gilt lantern arrive ready to install by a qualified electrician, just like our new handmade lanterns.
Most Fritz Fryer bedroom lanterns are dimmable when fitted with dimmable LED bulbs and wired to a compatible dimmer switch. Dimming lets one lantern do both jobs a bedroom needs: bright and clear in the morning, low and warm in the evening. Ask our team about dimmer compatibility for your chosen lantern when you order.
Fritz Fryer bedroom lanterns range from £570.60 for the smallest Sellack Lantern to £5,244.00 for the solid brass Harewood End Classic Hall Lantern. Popular choices include the Hereford Globe Hall Lantern at £1,108.80 and the hand-restored antique gilt lantern at £1,750. Every piece is handmade or hand-restored in our Herefordshire workshop and built to last for decades.
Our own bedroom lantern designs are handmade to order with a standard lead time of one to two weeks, though flagship pieces such as the solid brass Harewood End take two to six weeks. Restored antiques carry their own lead times, typically one to three weeks depending on the restoration. We will always confirm timings when you order.
