Description
This is a gas street lamp produced by Z D Berry & Son, likely installed in Churton Place in the 1880s.
The lamp features a cast iron standard painted black, with a lantern made of cast and wrought iron components, also painted black, and has curved, tapered glazing panels. The standard has a slender tapered shaft with an octagonal section, adorned with laurel ornamentation at the base and neck, and is set on an octagonal pedestal with moulded shoulders.
The front face of the pedestal displays the following text in relief: Z. D. BERRY & SON/ THE ALBION WORKS/ PIMLICO WESTMINSTER. Above this, an oval panel in relief shows a serial number: 6199.
At the top of the lamp standard, a pair of iron ladder stands project horizontally. Above these, four swan-neck brackets support a circular Grosvenor style lantern with tapered and curved glazing panels set in a cast iron frame. The lantern is topped with a circular, decorative, perforated metal crest and an ogee-shaped chimney finial.
There are some signs of corrosion where the collar and ladder stands connect to the top of the lamp standard, but otherwise, the lamp is in generally good condition.
