Argand Lamp (one of a pair)
Hampton National Historic Site, National Park Service
Towson, MD, United States
This is one of a pair of highly ornate Argand lamps that have been in use in Hampton’s Music Room since at least the 1880s. Though time consuming to clean and maintain properly, Argand lamps were popular because they produced light the equivalent of 6 to 10 candles.
