The When I grew up we allways had a lantern hanging in the window from the first Sunday of Advent. A family tradition since my grandmother. The red light of the silhouette lantern brings beauty and a warm atmosphere to the room. Unsurpassed craftmanship. The motif windows are cut with slanted edges. Made of heavy cardboard lined with red silk. I sign each lantern and my trademark is impressed at the bottom. |

Carl's Lantern |
Mini Lantern |
| The original lantern by Carl Liljefors doesn't loook very much, worn as it is. But when I made a copy it proved to be very decorative! | Here is a mini lantern made with the same technique as the original lantern. The hight is 19 cm (7 1/2") and the width is 10,5 cm (4 1/8"). |
NOTE! I do not vary the motifs on these two lanterns.
