- Lot Description
UNIQUE EARLY AMERICAN BLOWN AND PRESSED GLASS CHANDELIER, the colorless early pressed Strawberry Diamond, Scroll, and Rosette nappie with even-scallop rim holds a gilded wooden support having multiple holes, currently fitted with three pattern-molded 12-flute peg-lamp fonts, each having an Adlams Patent May 19, 1863 kerosene lip burner with appropriate lip chimney, all supported on an iron rod threaded at one end and with cast gilt-brass securing caps, the upper rod has a free-blown medial spacer and a pattern-molded 20-rib witchball-form upper spacer. Probably New England. Circa 1835. 27" HOA, 9" D nappie.
Literature: Nappie as Spillman - American and European Pressed Glass in the Corning Museum of Glass, p. 42, fig. 69.
Catalogue Note: Another chandelier featuring an early pressed glass lower element and pattern-molded peg lamps is in the collection of the Peabody Essex Museum. It is difficult to say if these were the product of the glass manufacturer or if they were being assembled by an outside lighting specialty firm. The peg lamps would have originally been outfitted with whale oil collars and burners. The presence of extra holes in the wooden support suggests that originally, this was fitted with one or more additional fonts. The iron rod also likely had a thin lower spacer, which would have added support for the present elements.Condition
Very good overall condition, the witchball-form spacer with a loss to the rim of one opening along with a corresponding 1" crack, the remaining glass elements are undamaged. The metal parts with some corrosion and grime.
