As a collector, it’s always fun to see an example of something you own in a museum. Whether it’s a similar style, the same artist or maker or an identical material, there’s a special feeling when you see that other variations of your favorite things are being protected and preserved.
Months ago, I shared with you photos of my
Cornelius & Co. girandole and garniture. Cornelius & Co. was a Philadelphia-based maker of lamps and candelabra. Another example of such a girandole—though in bronze with different figures, exists in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. This set with bronze figural groups dates to 1851 and was a gift to the Institute.
