Constructed in \u003cstrong\u003eheavy gauge blackened steel\u003c\/strong\u003e with a distinctive \u003cstrong\u003epagoda-form roof\u003c\/strong\u003e, this is a fitting of serious architectural presence and considerable rarity at this scale.

The \u003cstrong\u003esquare-section glazed body\u003c\/strong\u003e is framed by four substantial corner posts with a flat base plate, the open frame currently unglazed and offering a clean view of the interior. The \u003cstrong\u003epagoda-form roof\u003c\/strong\u003e is the defining feature — a broad double-pitched canopy with pronounced upswept corners, the eaves line stepped with a classical cornice profile and each corner terminated with a solid \u003cstrong\u003eball finial\u003c\/strong\u003e. The roof pitch is steep and confident, the form drawing on a long tradition of British street and pub lantern design stretching back to gas lighting in the nineteenth century. The \u003cstrong\u003esuspension stem\u003c\/strong\u003e is original — a substantial column of \u003cstrong\u003ecast iron and cast bronze\/brass\u003c\/strong\u003e fitted with hexagonal locking nuts and a forged suspension ring, the whole of a mechanical robustness entirely appropriate to the fitting's working history. The lantern suspends from a \u003cstrong\u003ebrass oval-link chain\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eProvenance \u0026amp; Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003ePub exterior lanterns of this type were standard specification across London's Victorian and Edwardian pub estate, providing both illumination and signage support at ground and first-floor level. \u003cstrong\u003eHenkeys\u003c\/strong\u003e — properly Hennekey's — was a London wine bar and tavern group operating from the nineteenth century through to the latter decades of the twentieth, with premises across central London. The presence of their branding on the original glazing confirms this fitting's working history within that estate. The lantern was removed in the 1980s during the wave of pub refurbishments that saw many original exterior fittings lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eGlazing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis lantern is offered with \u003cstrong\u003estandard clear glass glazing included in the price\u003c\/strong\u003e.
