Gas Lamp

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gas lamp. The lamp has a central pole with a flared base and a curved stem. The stem has a wide base and narrows to a smaller section with crystal decorations hanging from it. Three arms extend from the stem, each holding a glass chimney. The chimneys are clear with a swirling design. The lamp has a silver-toned metal base with ornate designs and crystal drops hanging from it. The background is a gradient from dark to light gray. The image is in black and white. The style of the lamp suggests it is from the 19th century. The lamp appears to be by Baccarat.
