Chandelier

Clark, Coit and Cargill American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 733

This chandelier with four burners and an urn-shaped oil reservoir is one of the few surviving examples documented to a New York retailer. Thomas Webster illustrates a closely related example, which he calls a "suspended Argand lamp," in his "Encyclopaedia of Domestic Economy" (1845), describing "the chains very ornamental, and the branches concealed by very rich brass work."
