The Ami Argand is a type of oil lamp that was developed in the late 18th century by the Swiss inventor Aimé Argand. It is known for its innovative design, which included a circular wick and a cylindrical glass chimney. This design allowed for a more efficient burning of oil, producing a brighter and steadier light compared to previous oil lamps. The Argand lamp became popular during the early 19th century and was widely used before the advent of electric lighting.
