Paul Revere Lanterns ~ Authentic Reproduction of North Church Lanterns


(Lanterns are SOLD!)
We are selling these registered and commissioned Bicentennial Lanterns on our website at www.picturetrail.com/shadetreeprimitives

Here the pair is pictured on their Walnut or Mahogany bases. The bases are 9.5 wide x 9.5 deep and are 1 3/8 inch thick. They have a 1/4 inch green velvet covered recessed well where the lantern sits.


Research shows: These are exact museum reproductions of the famous Paul Revere~Old North Church Lantern made available in 1975 as an official bicentennial collectible. Only 1000 pairs were sold and were produced in sterling silver.



The pair we have are numbered EP1021 and EP1022. They were commissioned by the Concord Antiquarian Society of Concord, Mass.


We are asking $750.00 for the pair (under market value) plus travel and insurance.


They truly are works of art that will keep on giving, immaculately clean and show just a few marks on the wooden bases in the upper finish.


If you have questions or can offer any additional information, please contact us through our blog or the Picture Trail.

Hello!


Well, I guess we are out of the starting gates with this new selling blog. Pamela and I plan to offer a variety of homemade, one-of-a-kind primitives, a few antiques, some refurbished country items, a real mish-mash of things.


So join us as we venture down this new road in our lives!


We are starting off with a new idea (at least to us) of Yo-Yo Bracelets. Each one is handcrafted from print cotton fabrics. They come in toddler size, child size and teen/adult size. They are $5.00 each plus shipping and we will be presenting them later with buttons, bells, etc.


The bracelets are quite the fad at our granddaughters school. They surely are prettier than those rubber band thingys.
