VINTAGE ANTIQUE VICTORIAN ORNATE 2 BRANCH GOLD GILT WALL LAMPS LIGHTS BRACKETS made from wood and covered with gold gilt. These lamps came out of PENN HOUSE in Buckinghamshire.

The Penn House Estate, Penn Street, near Amersham, Buckinghamshire, situated in one of the prettiest parts of the Chilterns, has been passed down in a direct family line since the Middle Ages. Earl Howe, the present custodian, is the successor of at least fifteen previous generations of the Penn, Curzon and Howe families who have made Penn their home. As it stands today the estate owes much to grants of land made by Henry VIII and his son, Edward VI to David and Sybil Penn in recognition of the latter’s role as nursemaid to the royal children during the 1530’s and 40’s.

The current Earl, Frederick Howe, lives in Penn House with his wife Elizabeth. They have three daughters, Anna, Flora and Lucy and a son, Tom. Earl Howe has been an active parliamentarian in the House of Lords since he inherited the title. He is a Conservative hereditary peer and, after spells in Agriculture and Health Ministries, is currently their spokesperson for Defence and also Deputy Leader of the House of Lords. Countess Howe was High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire from 2010 to 2012.
