Description
Once American homes began using fixed-position candlebearing fixtures, a little after the colonial era, the curved-arm chandelier was one of the few dominant forms. Cohasset’s ringed ball anchor and subtle finial are norms of these -colonial chandeliers, as are its candlecups and bobeches. It’s the metal ring set off the ball, clasping its flowering of lithe and lively arms, that makes Cohasset unique. A ridged half-cylinder on the backplate takes the place of this ring in the wall sconce versions.
