Ironwork: hanging chandelier

Ironwork: hanging chandelier

These two jar lamps were part of a double ox yoke hanging chandelier made by Daniel Boone VI. The ox yoke part of the chandelier is missing. The jars are signed by Daniel Boone. Although made in the 1950s, these are typical of the work Boone was creating in the 1940s. Boone was a fifth generation blacksmith, trained by his father Kelse Boone of Burnsville, N.C. He taught industrial arts students at Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, N.C. in the 1940s and also operated a forge with his brother Lawrence Boone, and later by himself, in Spruce Pine, N.C.
