A wonderful copper street light made in France by Holophane. c.1910

A rare early 20th‑century French Holophane street lantern in untouched copper, complete with its original internal glass reflector and prismatic lens - both stamped Holophane. The copper casing shows the honest knocks, creases and weathering expected from decades of municipal use, giving it a rich, naturally mottled surface. Inside, the paired Holophane elements produce the crisp, refracted light the firm was known for, with the reflector throwing a clean spread and the prismatic a beautiful glow.

Rewired with black twisted flex.

About the maker
Holophane was founded in 1896 by businessman Otis Mygatt who set up companies in both America and the UK for the production and sale of their ingeniously designed prismatic lenses and reflectors. Holophane lights are used all over the world in a multitude of different environments, each serving a different purpose - whether it be a library, a train station or a chemical plant. The word Holophane derives itself from the Greek words 'Holos' and 'Phainein' meaning 'to appear completely luminous'. Later on in it's production Holophane secured the largest-ever single lighting order in the UK of 65,000 fittings, covering 186 miles of tunnels in the London Underground. Holophane has provided some 80 years of service to the London Underground in total.
