Abbott Tuesday - Bastille lanterns

Bastille lanterns in natural wood (top row: barrel #4030 & #4028; bottom row: cylinder #4023 & #4022)

Tis the season for outdoor entertaining, so make sure you're offering your customers the best options to enhance their gatherings.

These Bastille lanterns from Abbott add a dramatic, organic and functional touch to any space.  The natural elements allow your customer to bring the outdoors in (when the temps turn cooler) or blend seamlessly with their garden or patio décor.

Each lantern is constructed of wood and metal with a jute handle.  There is also a glass cylinder insert to protect your open flame from the wind and prevent fire hazards.  The candle is not included, but Vance Kitira candles partner perfectly with these lanterns.

Choose either the cylinder or barrel shape (or both) and either natural wood or grey-stained wood.  The cylinder style is available in two sizes - 10" or 12" tall.  There are also two sizes for the barrel style - 7.5" or 11" tall.

Your customer is likely to purchase more than one because singles don't make an impact, and these lanterns are too dramatic to allow them to be overshadowed by other décor elements.  You may consider pricing them as pairs or simply offering a lower retail when your customer buys more than one.

Abbott makes it easy for you to manage your inventory by selling each item individually.  Unlike many import companies, Abbott does not require that buy two sizes as a set.  While that works well at the retail level, when it comes to wholesale you end up with orphan pieces that you are unable to sell without discounting.  At Abbott, YOU decide how many of each style and color to bring in.
