Watercolor of Bank Lantern

From the Remains Archive. Available by private inquiry.

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.
