Cornelius Bronze, Glass and Marble Solar Lamp, mid-19th century, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the double-step marble base supporting the opaline and cobalt pillar-molded standard, set with a labeled Cornelius font, the shade ring hung with back-cut spear-point prisms and set with a period cut, engraved and frosted glass bell-form shade decorated with tulips and grapes, h. 32-1/2", dia. 7".

The standard has one small fleabite/flake along an edge, about 1 mm by 2 mm. The associated prisms exhibit minor wear, including chips to the tips of the spears. The ring that supports the prisms does not fit tightly onto the font. Electrified. The shade is a modern cut and etched glass reproduction after the period shades.
