This Paul Revere lantern necklace will light up any occasion!
On the night of April 18, 1775, two lanterns hung in the steeple of Boston's Old North Church. Across the harbor Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Samuel Prescott waited to alarm the countryside. The number of lanterns was a pre-arranged signal that indicated whether the redcoats marched “by land” out of Boston, or rowed across the Charles River “by sea” to Cambridge and on to Concord.
Spotting two lanterns, the riders set off with the news that the regulars were on the move, and also to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams, who were staying in their path. Henry Longfellow immortalized the ride in his 1860 verse. The lanterns, and the phrase, are now an iconic part of the American experience, on the dramatic path to Revolution.
This necklace is inspired by the lanterns that still exist today and is packaged in a beautiful black gift box with the original period imagery and historical information vetted by a museum curator. The box is perfect for gifting or storage!
Note: this necklace is available in a silver plate or gold plate chain (not pictured).
