Seeing Things

After my eye test I was met by Mr Flum, who guided me, with my atropine-induced giant pupils, to lunch in The Herringbone restaurant nearby.
I sat gazing at this lamp standard for the entire meal, only on leaving did I realise just how ornate (and possibly unique) it is. Edit: I expect there are other bases like this, as it is cast iron but was surprised to see a lamp rather than a clock. 
Constant traffic and drizzly weather prevented a well-composed photo but it's the only one taken today.
