A set of three gilt bronze lanterns late 19th/ early 20th century

each with a four light  candelabrum; formerly fitted for electricity

These lanterns are slightly dirty and would benefit from a clean. One of the glass panes is broken and will need replacing and one has a chip to the top right corner of the glass pane but it is not secured as it is lacking a catch to hold it in place. The tassel is missing from one swag. The other lanterns are in good order. The drip-pans and nozzles have been drilled where the piece was formally fitted for electricity. There is a four link chain attached to the central stem of one which is redundant and can be removed. The candle arms on one lantern would appear to be a later replacement. In otherwise good condition. *Height.; 84cm *Diameter; 30.8 (2) / 30.5 cm
