A lamp stand adapted to support in a fully expanded state a collapsible oriental lantern formed by an open-ended translucent shell on a floor or table surface. The upper opening of the shell is bounded by a top rib to which is attached a spider whose center hub has a hole therein, the lower opening being bounded by a bottom rib provided with tie strings or other leg connectors. The stand includes a raised mounting plate supporting a lamp socket and a harp from which upwardly extends a vertical rod that passes through the hole in the spider hub. The rod has an elastic collar thereon which is axially shiftable to a point under the hub to maintain the upper end of the lantern at this level, which print depends on the length of the lantern. Depending from the mounting plate is an array of legs each having an outwardly sloped upper section and a straight lower section whose foot rests on the surface. The bottom rib of the lantern rests on the sloped upper section of the legs at a level thereon determined by the size of the lower opening of the lantern and is secured thereto by the leg connectors.
