gasolier
/ɡasəˈlɪə
/(also gaselier)
noun
A chandelier with gas burners rather than light bulbs or candles.Controversy arose last week over the auction of seven gasoliers and an organ....
- A welcoming fire filled the great fireplace, restored Grecian gasoliers hung overhead, and the acoustic-friendly gallery was soon filled with my technically-imperfect Schumann.
- The flickering soft light I had seen through the window came from a gasolier that hung over the table.
Origin
Mid 19th century: from gas, on the pattern of chandelier.
