For sale, a large quantity of antique cast-iron lamp posts made in the year 1848 for the streets of Harrogate, England.
Installed by the Harrogate gas company in 1848 these exceptional cast-iron lamp posts with significant history are rare pieces to come to market. They feature a rose above a palmette at the base, finely fluted columns and decorative ladder bars centred by a small lions mask. Now converted to electricity the lamp posts are fully restored and ready for use.
We acquired almost 300, there are now less than 30 left in stock.
