Lamp 1870 - 1880

This clear glass oil lamp, produced by Adams and Company between 1870 and 1880, is a fine example of American glassmaking in the late 19th century. The lamp's intricate cut glass design, featuring a repeating pattern of diamonds and circles, reflects the popular Victorian taste for elaborate ornamentation. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the lamp stands at 12 1/8 inches tall, highlighting the craftsmanship and artistry of the period.
