Georgian Incised Twist Stem Small Oil Lamp

18th century
Description

This is a small Georgian, incised twist, oil lamp (often erroneously called a lacemaker's lamp) dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1770.

The lamp is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot consistent with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the foot which is nicely striated as is the bowl.

The lamp has a flattened ovoid reservoir measuring 7.5 cm (3 inches) in diameter at its fullest and measuring 2.7 cm (1.1 inch) in depth. The reservoir sits on a collar and an incised twist stem with a basal collar, and a conical foot which measures 6.3 cm (2.5 inches) in diameter. The lamp is 8.5 cm (3.4 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.

It is made from English lead metal weighing in at 145 g. (~ 5 oz.).

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
