This is a superb pair of antique Arts and Crafts wall-mount lanterns, dating from the early 1900’s and made of copper with their original amber glass. These exterior sconces feature a round copper backplate, with an arm extending from the center and curving up into a hook. The lantern features a sloped round roof, with the original amber glass cylinder below, finished in a copper border at the bottom. These wall lamps are in excellent condition, and the glass is in excellent condition with no cracks or breaks. The lanterns have been professionally rewired and come with all the necessary attachments for modern installation. Each sconce measures 11 ¼” tall, 5 ¾” wide, and projects 10 ¼” from the wall. They are suitable for either interior or exterior use, and would also be perfect for any Tudor, Gothic Revival, or Spanish Revival décor. NSP465-RW   « Less

The piece was given to the V&A by the Commisioners of the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Victoria & Albert description: Design & Designing Minton's designed the 'Silenus' jug in about 1831 and it proved to be one of their most popular earlier designs, to such an extent that it was copied by Mason and by Doulton. It was first issued in light green, then dark green. This blue version is model number 235. Minton even issued the jug in an experimental pre-Parian version though this is quite rare. Subject Depicted Silenus was a god of Bacchus' retinue. A merry, rotund old drunkard, he was nevertheless credited with wisdom and prophetic powers. He is usually shown leading Bacchus' triumphal procession, on an ass and supported by satyrs.   « Less
