Seems like this was made as a lovely tribute to a loved one! This was purchased by me ~20 yrs ago...it had been outside for many years so wears its patina honestly. This could have been made in the 1970s or decades earlier--I honestly cannot tell.

I had Munder & Sons rewire the lamp; they soldered a hanging double-cluster (candelabra base) socket (w/ dripped wax sleeves) & bronze rayon cording. The verdigris chain & square canopy (Arroyo Lighting) are recent additions. The body of the lantern measures 22.5" H x 11"W X 11"D. 31"H w/ chain & canopy. The lamp has been in storage so never hung since restoration. less
