Inspired by an 18th century original by John Vardy. Several Lanterns were designed by John Vardy for the Spencer family during his original Spencer House commission for the 1st Earl Spencer. A key motif which is found through Vardy’s decorative scheme for Spencer House and Holland’s scheme for Althorp is the palm leaf spray. This motif is found in the Wootton Hall as well as the Palm Room at Spencer House. 26 x 22-3/4 x 43-1/2 in (66 x 58 x 111 cm) 81
