Ships Saloon Candle Lantern

This one has been in our personal collection for many years and has proved both functional and attractive beside our inglenook fireplace. A new decoration scheme implemented by 'the Boss' necessitates offering it for sale for the first time in a while. This is a small but decorative lantern in circular form with a hanging hook to the top exiting through a fluted funnel. The lantern has a small opening door to the side and carries four curved glass windows. It does not have any makers marks but it has a good age to it and we would estimate it dates from the late 19th or early 20th Century. Shows some wear, commensurate with age and use, but an attractive small lantern and very much a one off! Measures 7" x 5" (18 cm x 13 cm)
