Argand lamp

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two metal Argand lamps by with bases composed of a short cylinder featuring etchings on the side. The base connects to a short stem from which the lamp body extends and curves outward on both sides. Each end of the lamp body features a cylindrical metal piece with a small etched design around the top. Glass chimneys cover the top of each lamp body. The left lamp features a central chimney with a rounded body and etched design. The right lamp features a similar-shaped chimney with a smaller rounded top. The background is white.
