Provenance: The Earls of Minto, Minto House, Roxburghshire, Scotland.
Scottish, circa 1750-1760

Shown here with andirons SNo 10202 now sold.

Minto House Notes:
This 18th century chimneypiece was selected by the 4th Earl of Minto to be installed in the Octagonal Drawing Room of Minto House by the decorators W. Turner Lord & Company, of 120 Mount Street, Grosvenor Square, London, whose estimate for the works was dated 18 September 1891. The tower of an earlier property had been incorporated by William Adam in his design for Minto House around 1740 and the House has subsequently undergone various expansions. One was carried our by Archibald Elliot at the beginning of the 19th century, it was further altered by William Playfair in 1837 and was finally enlarged by Robert Lorimer at the end of the 19th century. Minto House was owned by the Elliott family and the Earls of Minto for several centuries but from the mid 1960s it began to fall into disrepair and suffering from increasing neglect it slowly deteriorated to a state where it was finally demolished in 1992.

A large Venetian baroque naval lantern, known as a fanò or fanale. These lanterns played an important role in the Venetian Armata (fleet), being mounted on a pole above the stern, which was the command centre of the vessel. This would emit much needed light and signals. Only squadron leaders were permitted to bear a single, grand lantern such as this on their galley; only nobleman were allowed the honour of this position. They lavishly decorated these vessels – which actually belonged to the Venetian Republic – with rich ornamentation such as carved panelling, lanterns and metalwork to indicate familial wealth and prestige. This of course, contributed to the intimidating display of martial valour.br> Conforming to the prevailing fashion of the Baroque, this lantern is ornately carved; solomonic columns flank the frame and dolphins dive down in the form of c scrolls, supporting the structure above. One later addition is the pendant knob, which would likely have been added when the lantern was converted to a hanging lantern (probably in the 18th century). Lanterns were often converted to hang in the androni (entrance halls) of Venetian homes, where other items associated with the families’ naval exploits could be displayed to celebrate their naval history.

Remarkably similar lanterns can be seen in Andrea Vicentino monumental painting in the Palazzo Ducale in Venice, depicting The Battle of Lepanto, painted in 1595.

It is highly likely that this lantern was made by the renowned Venetian picture frame makers.

Converted to electricity.
Rare surviving original gilding. Italian, 17th century.
