Glass and Metal Architectural Candle Lantern - Green Patina Pickford House by Echo Valley

Historic English architecture inspires these intricately constructed lanterns. Lead solder creates lacy fretwork frames for beveled glass windows which brilliantly reflect light. Open latched door to insert a tea light (not included); we recommend battery-operated tea lights. Indoor or outdoor use. Styled after a quaint old English conservatory. You can almost see the plants growing beyond the paned windows. Named for Joseph Pickford (bap. 1734-1782), an English architect, and one of the leading provincial architects during the reign of King George III. Pickford was born in Warwickshire in 1734, but he moved to London when he was 10. Pickford lived in Derby and the house he designed for his family is located at Number 41 Friar gate. It is now the Pickford's House Museum. Pickford worked extensively throughout the Midland of England, primarily designing houses in the Palladian style. 4 3/4" square base and 12" high.
