Cornelius & Company
Among the most successful manufacturers of cast girandoles in the United States was the firm of Cornelius and Co., founded in Philadelphia in 1827 by Christian Cornelius, a silver plater, and his son Robert (1809-1893). The firm became Cornelius and Baker in 1851. No pattern books for the company have come to light so that identification of the casting subjects is not certain.
