CLARK'S
PATENT DIAMOND LAMP,
FOR
INDIA AND THE COLONIES.
Fig. 30.
This Lamp is beyond doubt the best Lamp for India. Royal Letters Patent have been granted to Richard Clark, for the recent improvements. In simplicity, in beauty, there is none to equal the Diamond Lamp. It gives the light of fourteen candles, and burns for twelve hours without attention. Is so simple, that it cannot be mismanaged—a wick has been woven expressly for this Lamp, which ensures a brilliant flame. The Diamond Light is tranquil amid the draught of the Punkah, and unaffected by currents from the windows or doors. The Table Lamps (as Fig. 30) are now fitted with a ribbed cut crystal under-dish, ventilating Punkah top and enamelled shade. The light and appearance thereby is considerably improved. The Table Lamps, from £3 18s. complete, to £8 9s., can be had in gold colour or bronze, or in bronze in relief, which is very handsome, or in artistic bronze in relief. Also with Derbyshire slate pillar, ornamented. Also with crystal pillars, plain or cut, which with the ribbed cut crystal under-dish, has a magnificent effect. The price is from £7 complete, to £11 10s.; also, Table Lamps can be had plated or electro-plated, from £7 15s. complete, to £12 12s. complete.
The Table Lamps fitted with an ornamented slate pillar with Ionic capital, either in gold colour, or bronzed in relief, are very much recommended for their elegance and durability; the price is, complete, £5 19s., if fitted with Punkah apparatus; but 14s. less is charged when the Punkah apparatus is not required.
