Lot Essay

The gothic architecture of this lantern reflects the 19th century revival of the George II gothic or old English style established by architects such as William Kent (d. 1748). A related chandelier at Uppark, Sussex, is illustrated in C. Hussey, Mid-Georgian English Country Houses, 1956, p. 32
