Decorative cast iron lampstandard on hexagonal base with three equally spaced (horizontal plane) arched arms, each holding lamp with glass shade. The lamps are approximately 440cm above ground level. Additionally, there is a further single arched arm holding a further lamp at a height of approximately 520cm above ground level. | ||
