Cornelius and Baker Lacquered Brass and Spelter Six-Arm Gasolier in the Rococo Taste, ca. 1851-1861, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the segmented stem with a trio of putti, each playing a horn, the lower bowl with floral swags and decor, the cast arms with labeled keys, now fitted with late 19th-century shaped and etched glass shades, h. 73", dia. 31".

In good condition. The lower brass bowl has some bent edges where the arms go through. The workmanship at these areas seems somewhat sloppy but appears original. No sign of any missing or broken elements. Some of the shade holders are slightly bent and a few set screws are missing. It is electrified. It measures 43" from the top of the leaf and fruit-form break to the bottom of the drop finial.
