Object Description
A superb and original late 18th century George III rococo large gilt brass hall lantern from the most celebrated period in English furniture design: the Chippendale period.
The original shaped four-light candelabra hangs within a cylindrical lantern cast with scrolling acanthus, with five original serpentine glazed panels and a door to one face.
It should be noted that this is a rare, exceptional and original survivor from one of the most celebrated periods in English furniture design.
Lanterns of this elaborate form are just as stylish and fashionable today as they were when first produced some 300 years ago.
