!9TH CENTURY WOODEN LANTERNS ARE WONDERFUL. BUT THIS 19th CENTURY WOODEN “LIFT LANTERN” IS CERTAINLY EXCEPTIONAL. THE SURFACE RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL BROWN PAINTED SURFACE. THE GLASS AND THE CANDLE HOLDER ARE ORIGINAL. THE HINGED SMOKE REFLECTOR IS ALSO ORIGINAL AND QUITE UNIQUE. THE LANTERN IS PEGGED ON BOTH THE TOP AND BOTTOM. THERE IS NO DOOR ON THIS LANTERN AND THE CANDLE IS ACCESSED BY USING THE “LIFT WOODEN ARM” TO BRING THE CANDLE UP THROUGH THE HOLE AT THE TOP OF THE LANTERN AFTER UTILIZING THE HINGED SMOKE REFLECTOR. THE LANTERN IS IN MARVELOUS CONDITION, WHICH REFLECTS ITS PROVENANCE. THE LANTERN CAME OUT OF THE RIVER OAK THELMA SCOTT COLLECTION. (LDESTK)
