Note: Thomas Osler established his glassmaking company in 1807 in Birmingham, England. He started by producing glass elements for chandeliers. Follett and Clarkson his sons took over the firm in 1831. The sons re-organized the firm in response to a growing market for fine quality luxury lighting. By the mid 19th century, F & C Osler & Co. were widely acknowledged to be the preeminent makers of exceptional chandeliers. The above offered lot undoubtedly falls into that category.
