Kensington
Pair of Lamps
Attributed to Union Glass Works (American, active 1826–44) · Kensington · 1835–40
These lamps were made to burn oil. The brass collars allowed wicks and glass shades to be screwed tightly to the tops. The shades fit over the wicks and aided in illuminating a room by diffusing the light of the flame.
