LARGE VICTORIAN COPPER LANTERN WITH GOTHIC THEME. A magnificent and imposing (1 metre tall) 19th Century, fully restored large copper lantern, ready for installation. Formerly a Victorian gas light of post top design, this beautiful lantern has undergone a very expensive full restoration. It was originally converted to electricity a long time ago and brackets were made for wall mounting, arguably making it more useful.
The copper has been sensitively restored leaving the considerable patina for authenticity. The wrought iron brackets have been refinished and a new timber plate attached for wall mounting. It has been rewired with modern insulated flex and earthed for safety.
The most aesthetic aspect is obviously the beautiful and expensive! Gothic Blue' is reproduced from Pugin's original design circa 1840 (early Victorian). A Gothic cross forms the centre of the etched pattern, the cross is fired with an enamel to create a blue colour detail which is semi-opaque.

The collection address is St. Ready for installation with new wiring and glazing. The copper has tarnish, verdigris and discolouration. The brackets and timber plate have been refinished with several coats of matt black paint.
The finial on the canopy is patinated spelter. There are uneven putty lines around the new glass due to the age, flexibility of copper and slight distortion of the framework.
