The Vesperal Vault: A Gothic Lantern Book Nook

The Tale

Transform your bookshelf into the quiet corner of a moonlit abbey. The Vesperal Vault is more than a candle holder; it is a portal to another era. Designed to sit nestled between your favorite novels, this book nook recreates the intricate "tracery" of a Gothic window, casting dramatic, architectural shadows across your library. Whether you are settling in for a night of ghost stories or prepping for a high-stakes D&D session, this lantern provides the perfect "haunted library" ambiance.

The Craft

This piece is a marriage of medieval geometry and modern material science.

The Architecture: Laser-cut from premium birch plywood and finished in a Deep Matte Black to mimic the look of aged wrought iron or charred timber.

The "Glass": Instead of fragile glass, we have engineered a custom 3D-printed diffuser. This ensures the light is spread softly and evenly, hiding the "bulb" and creating a realistic, ethereal glow.

The Flame: Each Vault comes equipped with a flickering LED candle, providing the romantic movement of a real flame without the risk of fire near your precious pages.

Dimensions: 5.5" tall x 3.4" wide—perfectly proportioned to stand alongside standard hardcovers.

A Sanctuary for Your Shelves

The Cozy Bibliophile: The ultimate gift for those who find peace in "Dark Academia" aesthetics.

The Dungeon Master: Use it as a prop on your table to represent a temple, a haunted mansion, or a wizard’s study.

The Night Reader: Provides a soft, non-distracting light for your evening rituals.
