Pair of Antique Glass and Brass "Cricklites"

Pair of tall molded glass and brass Cricklites. A molded glass circular holder rests atop a brass fitting above a glass column supported by a stepped brass plinth base. Cricklites were slow-burning candle night-lights manufactured by Samuel Clarke and were originally meant to burn for eleven hours. The gilded rims on the glass shades are marked with the embossed name “Cricklite.” These lights have liners for votive candles.
