Personally, I'm thinking about climbing to the top of Old North Church with mine.

I'll signal with the 16" one if I don't like them.

And I'll signal with two of the 25" ones if I do.

I m ordering the 25 inch and going to put it by my frontdoor outside. I will decorate with flowers around it spring/summer and pumpkins in the fall. I might even put it on a low table on the porch .

I asked Susan Matthews on her FB page and she said the measurements are for the lantern body only and does not include the hook.

@mallemo, Thanks so much for mentioning this.  My bad.  It is a shame that we don't ever know things like this for certain on QVC's items. 

The item listing still gives measurements with the handle:

Example: With handle, lantern measures 25"H x 9-1/2"W x 9-1/2"L

I think we can believe Susan because she has really been emphasizing that it is the body of the lantern only that is measured, during the presentations that I have seen.

I'd appreciate some opinions. I'd like to get one of the lanterns, in black, to go on our hearth, opposite the fireplace tools. I've attached a picture of our fireplace. Would you go with the 16 or 19 inch? The 24 is too big for me. I want it to look good but not be too overwhelming, like well....hello there. There's a lantern!

@gidgetgh, How pretty!   I can't really advise because I just go by what looks right to me around here.  I'm sure experts would laugh and laugh. 

What I would probably do in your case is measure the height of the fireplace tools, then decide if I want the lantern to be shorter, the same as, or taller than the tools.  Mine are 28" so even the largest TSV would be shorter than my fireplace tools.  I would probably measure the height of the iron too, if it is going to be displayed along with the lantern, because I'm weird that way!  Maybe if you want the stair step look, choose a height somewhere nicely between the two?  Just an idea. 

FYI--The TSV lanterns' measurements are including the metal ring, so you would probably need to deduct and inch or two from the stated measurement to get a more accurate picture of their height.

Yes, I heard that on the first presentation as well.....the measurements do not include the hook, just the body of the lantern.

Yes, Susan seems to be trying to correct the info from the website.  I've heard her say this 3 times I think.
