A gilded metal and wrought iron lantern possibly by Bernheimer Workshops, in 18th century style

of nonagonal form with boldly wrought acanthus ribbon-tied corona, with later triple branch candle-holders, glass missing, formerly fitted for electricity,

Inventory of L. Bernheimer, at Palais Bernheimer, Lenbachplatz, Munich.

This piece is dirty and would benefit from a clean. Some losses to the gilding and some minor losses to the wrought iron and some warping. Some losses to the bows and one bow needs a ribbon-tie re-pinned.
