A suitable replacement for "emanate" in this context would be "originate." The passage describes how the candle's light appears to come from the designs on the lanterns, and "originate" captures that sense of the light being produced or coming from those artistic features beautifully. "Look like" could also work but doesn't convey the sense of the light actually coming from the designs as effectively as "originate." It might suggest a similarity rather than the source of the light.
