About the Item
Huge Early 20th Century French Holophane Light
One of the largest French Holophane lanterns we have had the pleasure to uncover. Weighting close to 30kg and standing 30 inches tall, this enormous light is quite a statement piece. Made from cast iron, copper, and glass. Still has its original green paint and made from sectioned glass Holophane shades. The central section opens so you can gain access to the light fitting, this is quite a unique piece of interior lighting and would look amazing hung in a large hallway entrance / room.
