Description

A most attractive Mid 19th Century Antique English Victorian Oil Lamp, the well moulded florally decorated pink glass font seated upon a finely chased cast brass base which we suspect has originally been gilded, this raised upon three, probably replacement, brass button feet, the wick winders stamped "ENGLISH MADE DUPLEX". This lovely old lamp is surmounted by a beautifully etched cranberry glass shade of the period, setting the piece off to perfection. Replacement clear glass chimney, as one would expect.

Victorian oil lamps were manufactured during the nineteenth century to burn paraffin or kerosene, combining functional illumination with decorative cast brass bases and coloured glass components.

These lamps commonly feature cast brass or bronze pedestals, hand-blown or moulded cranberry and opalescent glass reservoirs, brass burner mechanisms, and clear glass chimneys.

Authentic pieces generally feature stamped maker details on the brass winder knobs, age-appropriate surface oxidisation on metal fittings, and characteristic crimped or hand-finished glass rims.

Positioning an oil lamp on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or hallway console introduces visual texture, rich colour accents, and classic period contrast within modern living spaces.

Glass reservoirs and shades should be washed using warm water and mild liquid soap, while brass components require gentle dusting with a soft cloth to maintain natural patina without abrasive polishes.
