The galley lantern (painted)

A spare and elegant lantern – our reworking of a 1930s gas-lit street lantern by W. Parkinson & Co, England.

For years I bought and sold every original Parkinson lantern I could find. There were a huge number of other lantern-making firms established throughout the nineteenth century – helping to illuminate the new streets and stations of the Industrial Revolution, but none of them had the restrained architecture of the Parkinson design, which appears to be a wonderful embodiment of Arts and Crafts, Modernism and wartime restraint.

Our galley lanterns are made in our Stamford workshops, available in three sizes, with either a single bulb or a 4-way bulb configuration, and can be glazed with clear, opal or seeded glass.

The galley lantern can be wired to UK/US or other international standards as required.

Each galley lantern will arrive with a 120mm diameter brass ceiling canopy and a metre of brass chain or rod, patinated to your chosen finish.

We provide indicative pricing below, but please get in touch for an accurate quote or trade pricing.

The lead time for a galley lantern is 4-12 weeks.

Also available in our brass finishes here.
