Crafted as a detailed 3D model for Blender, this traditional brass lantern features a hexagonal glazed body, star vents, and an interior flame. A faceted top cap incorporates decorative star-shaped vent perforations to release heat, converging into a central ring connected to a multi-link hanging chain and hook. Centred within the glazed chamber, a raised pedestal supports an open brass oil diya holding an illuminated flame. The hexagonal cage rests upon an extended circular brass plinth base, creating an authentic, handcrafted enclosure with distinct metallic surface wear and subtle tarnishing.
The download is a 44.9 MB compressed archive with the model in BLEND, FBX and GLTF format.
Import the asset directly into Blender or exchange via FBX and glTF into standard visualisation pipelines. The mesh integrates separated elements for the brass framing, transparent glass panels, and the internal wick. Visualisers can configure the flame geometry as a point light or emission shader, adjusting luminescence and warmth to cast realistic flicker and reflections across surrounding architectural surfaces.
Appropriate for heritage renovations, boutique hospitality retreats, spa interiors, and traditional residential courtyards, this piece brings atmospheric mood lighting to transitional spaces. It pairs seamlessly with natural stone masonry, carved timber screens, and terracotta flooring in verandas, dining pavilions, or prayer sanctuaries. Visualisers often seek this style when curating antique luminaires, Indian ornamental oil lamps, or characterful ambient lanterns for evocative evening renders.
