This is a decorative wooden lantern, often referred to as a farmhouse or rustic style lantern. These lanterns are primarily used for home décor, such as table centerpieces or mantel displays. The frame is predominantly wood with glass panels and a metal top and handle. I am unsure if the candle works, or how it works (if it is battery powered or not.) The lantern is in great shape and would make a nice piece to any home.
