Watercolor of Bank Lantern

From the Remains Archive. A historic watercolor on paper of a large wrought iron lantern, accented with brass castings. The fixture depicted is in a Beaux Arts style where the wrought iron, or perhaps wrought brass straight hexagonal body, in a dark patina, is ornamented with bright brass castings of bellflowers, pineapples, sunbursts, and various arrangements of acanthus leaves. A note in the lower right indicates that the fixture is intended for the Main Banking Hall. Light-line interior details of the lamping are revealed on the left side of the body. Bearing the embossed stamp of the Beardslee Chandelier MFG Co. Chicago. Our Archive Collection consists of the best examples of previous custom projects & historic fixtures from our collection.
