This used ex-display cast iron and galvanised steel garden lamp post set is a traditional period light for outdoor spaces. Designed as a free-standing unit, it has an authentic Victorian street light aesthetic for gardens, driveways, or pathways. Unbranded but built to a substantial standard, this piece stands approximately 2.2 metres tall and weighs 21 kilograms, giving it a reassuringly solid presence. The traditional design complements both period properties and modern gardens seeking a classic focal point.
Construction and Design Details
The lamp post is constructed from a combination of cast iron and galvanised steel. The base is solid cast iron, embossed with a period Victorian fleur-de-lis motif. The column is wrought iron, complemented by cast iron ladder bars. The lantern section is hand-finished by skilled metal and panel beaters, featuring a hinged roof for easy access to the bulb fitting. The panes are made from toughened acrylic, chosen for its excellent transparency and superior strength and safety compared to traditional reinforced glass.

Installation and Care Advice
Cast iron garden lighting requires basic care to maintain its appearance. The galvanised steel and powder-coated finish offer good weather resistance, but an occasional clean and check for rust spots is advisable, particularly in coastal or very damp environments. The free-standing design means it must be securely mounted into a suitable base or ground fixings. The hinged lantern roof makes replacing the B22 LED bulb straightforward when required. With proper installation and basic maintenance, this period-style lamp post can provide reliable outdoor lighting for many years. The use of toughened acrylic panes ensures the lantern is safer and more durable than traditional glass alternatives, reducing the risk of breakage from accidental impact or weather debris.
