Lantern Lines
Lantern Lines is the heart of the house. We carry round paper lanterns in crimson and cream, in sizes from the small street lantern to the tall entrance round, and we match each order by count, by size and by hanging length so a shop receives exactly what its rack can hold. The shells come from the workshop rows near our stall rooms, and our own hands finish the ribs, press the seams and set the paste so that the paper keeps its glow through the whole season. A retailer may ask for a single crate of one size or a mixed shelf of several, and the hangers are strung so that a lantern can be lifted from the crate and hung without unwrapping the whole run. Because the shells ship folded, a full shelf takes very little space on the road and opens in one breath at the door.
