Twee straatlantaarns c. 1866 - 1900

"Twee straatlantaarns" is a detailed architectural drawing by Charles Claesen, created between 1866 and 1900. The drawing depicts two ornate street lamps, each standing on a square base with a columnar shaft topped with a decorative lantern. The intricate ornamentation, including stylized floral motifs and geometric patterns, showcases the elaborate design popular during this period. This pen and ink drawing, measuring 418 mm in height and 290 mm in width, would have been a valuable tool for architects and builders seeking inspiration for public lighting designs.
