An impressive antique wall-mounted lantern reclaimed from Garscube Terrace, Edinburgh, one of the capital's finest Victorian and Edwardian residential streets.
Constructed from copper with a naturally aged verdigris patina, this handsome lantern retains its original finial, glazed body and decorative wall bracket. The proportions and quality of construction suggest it was made during the early 20th century and would have originally illuminated the entrance to an elegant townhouse.
Approximate dimensions:
Overall height (top of finial to bottom of bracket): 105 cm
Projection from wall: 45 cm
Width: 42 cm
The lantern is offered for restoration. The copper upper section has developed an attractive natural patina, while the lower steel framework shows corrosion consistent with many decades of outdoor use. It is a complete and worthwhile restoration project for someone looking to return a period property to its former glory.
A rare opportunity to acquire an authentic Edinburgh architectural lantern with genuine provenance, ideal for the restoration of a Victorian or Edwardian home, hotel or historic building.
