Antique Victorian Cranberry Glass Oil Lamp Hand Painted Font Shade

19th century
Description

A beautiful antique Victorian oil lamp featuring a striking cranberry glass shade with delicate etched decoration and a superb hand painted glass font. The font is richly decorated with colourful floral motifs, adding charm and individuality to this already eye catching piece.

Raised on a brass column and base, the lamp retains its original burner along with the clear glass flue, making it a complete and highly decorative example. The combination of cranberry glass, etched detail and hand painted finish makes this a standout display item.

Condition is good for its age with light wear consistent with use. There are minor age related marks to the base and metalwork as expected, but overall it presents very well. Sold as seen in photos.

Dimensions:

Height: 59 cm approx including shade and flue

A wonderful antique lighting piece, ideal for collectors or as a decorative feature in a period home.

This Victorian oil lamp combines cranberry glass, brass, hand-painted glass and slate in a traditional lighting form. The piece stands 59 cm in height, comprising a clear glass flue at the top, a ruffled cranberry glass shade with an etched lace pattern, a metal burner with a turning key, a hand-painted floral font in pink with yellow and green motifs, a brass column, and a stepped black base. Minor age-related marks appear on the base and metalwork, while the glass elements retain their decorative finish. Suitable for collectors, the lamp functions well as a decorative feature on a sideboard top in a period home or traditional interior setting. The assembly presents a complete profile with visible light wear consistent with age, showing integrated floral hand-painting on the lower reservoir and intricate etchings across the upper shade.

FAQs

Originating in the nineteenth century, cranberry glass was produced by adding gold salts to molten glass, creating a rich pink hue highly favoured for decorative lighting during the Victorian era.

These lamps typically combine blown cranberry glass shades, hand-painted glass reservoirs, brass burner mechanisms, clear glass chimneys, and turned slate or ebonised bases.

Authentic period pieces display mouth-blown glass variations, slight hand-painted enamel irregularities, period-correct brass collar fittings, and age-consistent wear to the base.

Position the piece on a sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece alongside clean-lined neutral decor to highlight its intricate form as a decorative historical focal point.

Clean glass surfaces gently with a soft microfibre cloth dampened with warm water, taking care not to rub abrasive solutions over hand-painted enamel motifs or lacquered brass fittings.
