A rare and desirable example of early New England lighting displaying mortise and tenon joinery. A heavy wire pricket facilitates the candle.
Item Date: 18th or Early 19th Century
Measurement: Height: 10.75"; width: 8.25"; depth: 8"
Material: Pine, iron candle, pricket, hinges, and bail handle; green paint.
Item Condition: Good condition, any imperfections are trivial and age/use related. There is a shrinkage crack to top; as expected, typical heat scaring to top of interior. The “wavy/seedy” glass appears to be original. There are two small piercings centering the vent on top suggesting that there may have originally been a heat shield or chimney device. The lamp displays beautifully.
