- Argand Four-burner Chandelier
- Dark patinated finish, bright banding, trumpet
shades
 |
This circa 1830 Argand four-burner chandelier is closely
patterned after one that is owned by a private collector. This
chandelier could be appropriately used in a number of settings:
house entrance, stairway (see the photos below), living room,
dining room, library, and any number of public buildings. The
chandelier could be appropriately used in buildings that date
earlier than the 1830’s since lighting fixtures were commonly
updated as better, brighter, and more efficient fixtures were
developed.
To accurately reproduce the original chandelier, it was
carefully measured, drawn, and photographed. Working from these
tools, the various parts of the chandelier were either spun,
machined, cast, or hand-fabricated. The chandelier is pictured
with a black acid-etched patina with some brass pieces to contrast
the dark finish. This same type of finish was commonly used on
lamps of the period. The trumpet and vase shades and chimneys
are hand-blown in the USA and have been carefully reproduced
using period pieces as models.
The chandelier is electrified (oil-burning models are not
currently available) and is available in a number of different
models:
- 1. The chandelier is available with a dark
patinated finish and bright-brass fittings or with the dark patinated
finish, bright-brass banding, and bright-brass fittings. The
entire chandelier is finished with a dragon blood tinted lacquer
which gives the bright brass a rich, darker color. This finish
is an accurate reproduction of that done in the period. If you
have a preference regarding what fittings are left with the bright-brass
finish and/or the areas that have the bright-brass banding please
get in touch. It may be possible to customize the finish in this
regard.

- 2. The chandelier is available with chimneys and
trumpet or vase shades or with chimneys only. Chandeliers that
are supplied with shades are electrified using four 60-watt candelabra
bulbs; those that are supplied with chimneys and no shades are
electrified using four 35-watt halogen bulbs (50-watt bulbs can
be used) and have brass chimney supports that hold chimneys only.
Dimensions of the chandelier are as follows. The overall
height of the chandelier is 33”. The overall width of the
model using the trumpet shades, including the shades, is 24-1/2”
and 22” measured from the outside of the brass chimney/shade
holders. The overall width of the model with chimneys only is
21-1/4” measured from the outside of the brass chimney holder.
The height of the central font, valve, and distribution tank
is 13-1/2” measured from the top of the top finial to the
bottom of the bottom finial.
