Condition Report
This lantern is a rare survivor, with age and wear evident throughout, as illustrated in the photographs.
Two of the three red glass panels are cracked but remain firmly in place. The clear, star-patterned glass at the top also has cracks and areas of loss, as shown, but remains securely held. All white opaline glass panels are intact and firmly in place.
The metalwork displays natural ageing. The finial leans slightly to the right due to minor movement in the copper sheets forming the upper section. The four painted female busts at the corners have chips and some loss of detail. The hinged front section opens and closes and is fitted with a latch.
Please note that this lantern is not wired. The photographs showing it illuminated are for display purposes only.
