EGLOFF & CIE TURGI SUISSE 'HELVETIA'

Used by the Swiss troops both stationary and “wagons”.  This Helvetia came to me covered in a

red - orange paint.  Underneath was the jewel.  In this particular restoration, the paint preserved the

integrity and beauty of this Swiss Lantern. 

The clear Helvetia globe is original to the Lantern.  I acquired a beautiful deep cobalt blue globe and it now resides in this lantern.
