Description

Four lamps are located at the corners of the former Preacher's Court in The Charterhouse. They date from the 19th century and are made of cast iron. Each lamp is octagonal, featuring a base and a column. The columns have a strapwork band and scrolled brackets that support a Nico lantern. Additionally, there are ladder bars and a ball finial, although the two eastern lamps are missing their finials.
