American Gas Lamp Works 1700H Heritage Aluminum Post Mount Light Head is available in gas-fueled and electric models.

American Gas Lamp Works manufactures and sells the world’s finest natural gas and liquid propane lighting fixtures and accessories, as well as matching electric incandescent and LED fixtures. Whereas nearly all other gas lanterns are made from bent and soldered sheet metal, American Gas Lamp Works lamps are handcrafted from components that are formed by pouring liquid metal into sand-mold patterns. This foundry-casting technique results in sturdy yet beautiful fixtures that will deliver warmth and beauty to your home or outdoor living area for many years.


The Heritage

While the round globe of our Heritage Lamp harkens to the colonial era of American history, this lamp’s cast aluminum roof and scalloped trim also make it an excellent complement to our Boulevard and Victorian estate lamps. Standing nearly 20 inches tall, the Heritage offers full visibility and is available in our full range of finishes.
