Bevolo Gas and Electric Lights

Family business Bevolo Gas and Electric Lights is, since 1945, the largest manufacturer of handmade, hand-riveted copper and brass lanterns. We went to the Conti showroom and studio where the original French Quarter lantern designs are made.

Bevolo has created over five hundred styles of lanterns that are used for both residential and commercial applications.

The French Quarter lantern design was created by Bevolo in collaboration with architect A. Hays Town who is renowned for introducing one of New Orleans distinctive architectural style.

Bevolo’s showroom on Conti displays an impressive collection of lanterns that reflect a true dedication to tradition, excellence and quality.
