Lot 97: Victorian Style Gilt Metal and Glass Swinging Lantern Table Lamp
A Gothic Revival style table lamp modelled as a swinging carriage lantern. The frame and base are made of cast gilt-metal or brass, featuring ornate foliate and scrollwork decoration. The lantern has a hexagonal form with leaded metal frames containing glass panels, which appear to have a frosted or textured finish. The lantern is suspended on a curved support arm that rises from a decorative pedestal base. Small white adhesive labels marked with the number 20 are present on the base. The lamp has been converted for electrical use and is fitted with a modern white flex and a UK three-pin plug.
Condition report:
The metalwork shows surface tarnish and a darkened patina consistent with age. One side of the lantern is open, missing its glass pane. The remaining glass panels are intact but show some surface grime. The electrical wiring is modern but the item is sold as untested and requires inspection and certification by a qualified electrician before use.
