Amherst Lantern

The Amherst collection is available in the following mount configurations: Wall Mount, Post Mount, Ceiling Mount. Each mount type determines the hardware and installation method for your lantern.

The Amherst is available in Natural Gas, Propane (LP), and Electric configurations. Gas lanterns use CSA-certified burners, while electric options include LED flame simulation modules for a realistic flickering effect.

The Amherst is offered in multiple finish options including Antique Copper, Matte Black, Bronze, and Graphite. Available finishes may vary by size — use the configurator to see all options for your selected configuration.

CopperSmith Amherst lanterns are stocked and typically ship within 7–10 business days. Custom finishes or the addition of an electronic ignition kit may extend lead time — current estimates are listed at checkout. You will receive tracking information once your order ships.

Your Amherst ships with the lantern body, mounting hardware for your selected mount type, glass panels, and the appropriate burner or lighting module. Decorative accessories such as scrolls, hooks, and extensions are sold separately and can be added during configuration.
