Grand in scale, this palatial lantern is finely cast in gilt-bronze. It is sumptuously modelled with asymmetrical C-scrolls, swept acanthus leaves and pierced rocaille ornament in a full flourishing of the Rococo style. Of drop outshape with three cartouche sides of bombé blown glass. One side hinged so as to make the bulb fitment accessible. Tapering to a pine-cone knop terminal.

Francés, Circa 1880.
