18-Light bronze gasolier, with a lobed ball form font with six scrolling arms having acanthus leaf embellishment, each arm terminating in three lights.
History: The chandelier was used in the kitchen in the Cordts Mansion in Kingston, NY, the 1874 home of the John H. & Elizabeth Cordts family for more than 100 years. Born in Germany, the family arrived in the United States in the late 1830’s, settled in Kingston in the 1850’s, and was well established as a brickmaker and local business leader by the time the home construction was completed in 1874. Hunt Slonem, a noted artist, purchased the property in 2001, both restoring and expanding upon the interior and collection.
