Exhibit description
To emphasize the unique character of gaslight, some light fixtures were built to resemble decorations made from precious pearls.
This is the case with this 19th-century gas wall lamp which arrived in Paczków from the Czech Republic. The gas flame is made to look even more beautiful inside this ornamental lampshade.
