Fabulous 19th. century /Blue Painted Lantern

Price: sold

A fine, fine lantern. Lots of special features. The lantern is circa mid 19th. century or earlier. Original Soldier Blue Paint. The lantern has its original pegs securing the top, not nails like you see most of the time. I believe most of the glass is original, one pane might be replaced. The way you get into the lantern is one of the panes of glass is actually halved, so you slide it up and gain access to the inside of the lantern. This lantern has no candle cup and never did, you melt the candle into place to secure it. The paint is dry and impeccable. The lantern measures 12 1/2 inches tall and 6 1/4 inches square. The top has a flat pierced tin piece that releases the heat. Original handle. As lanterns go this is a 10. Excellent provenance. Price: sold
