With embossed brass label on burner tube inscribed 'Manufactured by H.N. Hooper & Co. Boston'.

26 x 10 1/2 in. diam. (to top of chimney).

 

Note: Henry N. Hooper (1799-1865) was a maker of mathematical instruments and an agent for the Boston Copper Company before establishing his own firm of Henry N. Hooper and Company in 1832. In addition to the typical output of a brass foundry, Hooper's firm offered other lighting such as chandeliers, girandoles, candelabra and lamps in various patterns and finishes. The glass shade would likely have also been manufactured locally, probably by the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company on Cape Cod or the New England Glass Company in Cambridge, MA.

 

Exhibited: Hirschl & Adler Galleries, New York, 2018-19, Augmenting the Canon: Recent Acquisitions of American Neo-Classical Decorative Arts, pp. 74-75 no. 29A illus. in color.

Condition

In very good overall condition. Now electrified. The gilt and patinated surfaces redone. Hirschl & Adler's description states 'H.N. Hooper & Co. Boston' is also 'cast into upper side of iron weight in base'; lamp not examined apart. The glass shade is original and in good condition. The chimney is a modern replacement. Will need to be rewired for use.
