Miles Griffiths Antiques Ltd has dated this piece to the Georgian era.
Beautifully made, massive scale, all hand forged with a twisted stem that can be swivelled around to move the lantern with a hook at the top. Interestingly there is a sperm or tadpole shaped locking device with a human face stamped into it. Works well and in superb condition. Quite a rare piece, a one off made for a specific large scale room. English and dating to around 1810. Could be used with a candelabra hanging from it too.
