ORIGINAL AND GENUINE ANTIQUE COACH or CARRIAGE LANTERN or LAMP.
Victorian era 1800s coach or carriage lamp.Beautiful bevelled glass with etched decoration in the glass panels. Glass is slightly damaged in the red rear small panel. (see photo)Magnificent patina both from its age and use. Works by candle that is mounted in the handle and pushed up by a spring mechanism as the candle burns. Still works well.I had this lamp on my hallway wall and would light it so I still kno...w it works.
It came from my grandmother's house in central Victoria which was a staging post for Cobb & Co and I've had it for 50 years. I've moved house now. Time to let someone else enjoy this piece of Australian history.
Size is 45cmH x 14cmW x 12cmD
