Our History...
For nearly 30 years, The Brass Lantern has been quietly evolving to become Metuchen's anchor store. When we first opened, The Brass Lantern focused solely on antiques, its first sale being a brass lantern, lending its name to the store.
The Brass Lantern switched it's focus from antiques to traditional and victorian gifts. It has since continued to grow to the delight of its dedicated customers.
The Brass Lantern has been described as:
"magical" "where the past meets the present" "a very relaxing shopping experience"
"charming" "sophisticated"
having "discriminating gifts at affordable prices"
And has been featured in:
The New York Times, NJ Magazine, NJ Visitors Guide, and the radio station Z100.
Come and shop at The Brass Lantern, "the only store of its kind".
