Double-arm brass Argand lamp, retailed by Baldwin Gardiner, with figural birds perched on the central urn form font, emanating from a patinated gilt bronze standard decorated with ornate floral and foliate designs, atop a tiered square base on scroll feet. Each arm is fitted with green ribbed glass shades, and clear glass chimneys stamped with a crown logo and "Austria / Cristal". Cut crystal drop prisms to each arm and central font. Marked "B. Gardiner / N. York" to base of each burner. Overall with shades: 20" H x 20 1/2" W x 9" D. Circa 1830. Note: the form of these lamps is similar to others manufactured by Thomas Messenger of England, which Gardiner was known to have imported and retailed. 

PROVENANCE: By descent in the historic Pinckney family of Runnymede Plantation, South Carolina.

Condition

Overall good condition. Minor scattered fleabites to cut glass prisms, one with missing tip on central section. Shades, chimneys and arm prisms likely added later.
