3-Part Girandole Set

Boston, Massachusetts
Circa 1850
Attributed to Henry N. Hooper and Company

This splendid three-part girandole set featuring birds among foliage is topped with candle cups with palmette borders and foliate prism rings. It is thought that the darker red color was a preferred finish in lighting manufactured by Hooper in Boston. Reference: Bacot, H. Parrott.
