One of kind antique hand blown clear cut glass three-light wall lantern with very elegant brass mounts, France, circa 1900-1910. The glass bowl and the upper glass plate are entirely with hand-cut palm tree motifs surrounding a globe with a holy cross on the top and the inscription "P. II". The entire cut decoration is repeated on the two hemispheres of the glass bowl - please see the pictures for the beautiful details. This wonderful and unique lantern comes from a manor house in southern France and it was certainly intended for the endowment of a high clergyman.

Height of the glass lantern including chains and upper plate: 23" / 58.5 cm Actual height: 32" / 81 cm, adjustable height via shortening or extending the chains. Diameter 12" / 30.5 cm.
