Amazing Tall 19th Century Antique Wrought Iron Lantern Stand REF:C662M

Amazing Massive 19th Century Antique Wrought Iron Lantern Stand

This is a wonderful, early 19th century English antique Blacksmith made wrought iron lantern stand, originally made to support a hanging oil burning lantern, but could be electrified. Beautifully made, massive scale, all hand forged with a twisted stem that can be swivelled around to move the lantern with a hook at the top. Interestingly there is a sperm or tadpole shaped locking device with a human face stamped into it. Works well and in superb condition. Quite a rare piece, a one off made for a specific large scale room. English and dating to around 1810. Could be used with a candelabra hanging from it too.
