Available : 1 This is a very large Belle Epoch caramel Slag Glass Gas Lantern. The art glass has a really beautiful texture that enhances the effect of the light coming through the 16-panels. The metal work is very interesting and quite intricate. The container that holds all the leaded glass is mostly of brass stamped design probably to allow a little give while the form was being made. The container consists of beaded bands and floral stampings that are all leaded around the glass. There are 3 floral open work brass castings on the top of the lantern container. There is also a very nice cast leaf over the bottom finial that holds the bottom of the lantern in place. It was through this opening that the gas flame was lit and controlled by the gas key that is also visible on the bottom. The rods that suspend the lantern are fluted and there is a three light electric cluster inside with porcelain sockets.
