A French Bell Lantern

  • Stock ID: 15500

A 19th century French bell-shaped, blown-glass 'cloche', a "miniature glass-house" which was traditionally used in agriculture to protect delicate plants (such as lettuces and strawberries) from frost. Our workshop makes lanterns from these 19th century French glass bells, fully electrified to Australian safety standards using black, bronze, silver or pale gold-coloured silk electrical cords. The lantern is fitted with a brass chain and ceiling cup to the tonality and the length required.

Condition report: In good, worn condition, the glass showing wobbles and bubbles from its early blown glass manufacture. Freshly wired to Australian standards.
Dimensions: Diameter 43 cm, height of bell 40 cm, current overall height 140 cm. Please enquire if you need a specific drop from your ceiling for this light.
Status: Available
