Antique Edwardian English Brass Oil Lamp with Opaline Shade

An antique Edwardian English brass oil lamp of elegant form featuring a fluted column, circular reservoir and a classic opaline glass shade with clear chimney.

This is a well proportioned example, the polished brass having a rich warm tone complemented beautifully by the soft white opaline shade. The fluted column gives the piece a refined vertical line while the stepped base provides stability and balance.

Oil lamps such as this were widely used before widespread electrification, providing both practical light and decorative presence in the home. Today they remain highly sought after for their atmospheric quality and timeless appeal, often used as statement decorative pieces or gently converted for modern use.

The burner mechanism remains in place along with the original style fittings, adding to its authenticity and charm. A very decorative and usable piece that works equally well in traditional or contemporary interiors.

Condition report

Very good antique condition with age related wear, minor marks and light patina to the brass in keeping with age and use. The glass shade and chimney are in good order. Overall a well presented example.
