'Christiania' & 'Argand'
Interior Lamps

(This is an element of 'Lighting' - 'Interior Lighting')

     

On the left is the part sectioned drawing of the Christiania with its steatite flat flame burner and on the right is a painting of the Argand burner - less the glass chimney which fits over the central section located by the thin wire 'fingers' that you an see.

The beautiful glass was hand painted in France

                    

On the left is one of a whole range of advertising cards which carried details on the rear, whilst on the right is the box label from the actual burner.

 

These original photos are just one page of several in a scrapbook of designs illustrating the extraordinary lengths taken to produce the widest possible choice for the customer. 

Set of Three Advertising Cards for the Christiania Fixtures

This advert shows both Argand and Christiania burners with glassware.  The chimney on the Argand burners makes the overall height considerably taller than the Christiania resulting in the two piece arrangement with a lower bowl and an upper cone. 

UNDER CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT - PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER
