Shown in Gunmetal finish. This lantern is based on an original design by the Swiss physicist and chemist Aim Argand. Patented in 1780, it was the first fixture to employ a hollow cylindrical wick through and around which air flows, increasing the intensity of the light produced. The invention counted among its fans Thomas Jefferson, who noted that the brightness was 6 to 10 times that of conventional wicks. The Argand remained in wide use through Europe and the Americas until the 1850s, when it was gradually displaced by kerosene lamps. Every piece is handmade to order here in our Vermont workshops.
