Art Funded by you

Hall or staircase lantern

Unknown artist, c. 1830

The lantern has fine neo-Classical ornament and is remarkable for the survival of its ruby glass borders in the six main panels. It also retains its chain and pulley mechanism, allowing for its height to be adjusted when a lamp or candle is required to be placed inside.
