Deborah Sampson Sconce

The Deborah Sampson Sconce features a long, narrow glass chimney inspired by traditional oil lamps. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, whale oil lamps were considered a "high-tech" lighting solution, offering brighter illumination with less smoke compared to the widely used candles. Unlike tallow candles, which produced a pungent odor when burned, whale oil lamps provided a cleaner, more pleasant lighting experience.
