Object Description

The triangular shaped copper wall lantern, possibly once used on the railways, having later been converted to electricity and with its original reflector, with an unusual pagoda elliptical top, the whole surviving from the last quarter of nineteenth century England.

Object History

Unknown.

Object Literature

We cannot find another example in this shape having been sold and it would make for a striking exterior porch light.

A scarce find in a very unusual form.

Object Condition

The lantern is in totally original order with a good amount of verdegris to the copper. One of the glass panels is lacking and therefore needs replacing.
