Description
UNUSUAL ANTIQUE CORNELIUS & BAKER PHILADELPHIA CANDLESTICK
Spring loaded brass candlestick with clear glass chimney. These candlesticks were produced about 1840-1850 and patented by Cornelius & Baker. The domed top of the shaft opens to insert a candle which is kept by spring tension with burning wick always level with shaft top at dome and does not drip wax. This example is unusual in that it also has a brass gallery under the shaft dome to hold a clear glass chimney, like a kerosene lamp, to protect the flame from drafts. The center of the shaft has the raised logo of ‘Cornelius & Baker Philadelphia’.
5" X 16 1/4"
