Description
The Atlas lamp by American Gas Lamp Works is inspired by the legendary figure Atlas, known for his strength and endurance. This lamp embodies these qualities through its robust design and durable materials. Available in three sizes—residential, mid-size, and estate—the Atlas lamp offers versatility for different spaces. It can be mounted on a post, pier, wall, or even hung, providing a range of installation options to suit various architectural needs.
One of the most striking features of the Atlas lamp is its natural copper construction. This material is not only durable but also ages gracefully. Over time, the copper develops a unique patina, giving the lamp a rustic yet elegant appearance. This natural finish ensures that each Atlas lamp becomes a distinctive piece, adding a touch of individuality to any setting.
Illumination options for the Atlas lamp are diverse and adaptable. It can operate on natural gas, propane, or electricity, offering flexibility for different energy needs. For those who prefer the classic look of a gas lamp, Open Flame Burners are available, creating a variety of charming flame shapes. Alternatively, an electric socket line is available for those who prefer LED or traditional light bulbs, adding a modern touch to the lamp’s timeless design.
The lamp is also UL certified, ensuring it meets safety standards. Tempered glass is included, with additional glass options available for further customization. With its blend of strength, endurance, and aesthetic appeal, the Atlas lamp is a fitting tribute to its legendary namesake.
