This elegant and very distinctive lamp offers effective and maintenance free outdoor lighting for many situations around public, commercial and private gardens, pathways and parking areas.
The Fleur-de-Lys design is the first of a new range of high quality ornamental, working lamps, each in an original and very individual style, as used by towns and cities
throughout Britain in Victorian times.
