Antique English Victorian Hinks Ionic Column Brass Oil Lamp

19th century
For Sale by Antiques4EU
Description

A simply stunning Late 19th Century Antique English Victorian Brass Oil Lamp of finest quality by Hinks & Son of Birmingham, the ornamental stepped base, with iron insert impress marked, J. HINKS & SON 1782, supporting a superb Ionic column of striking form. Of the five Orders of Architecture, lamp bases are more commonly to be found employing the arguably lighter and more decorative Corinthian capital, the sturdy Ionic being but rarely encountered in today's market place. The most attractive vaseline glass font with abstract decoration comes with the original brass Hinks patented rise and fall burner, the wick winder button marked, HINKS No. 2 SAFETY. Setting the seal on this fine lamp, is a really lovely scalloped vaseline glass shade of the period, delicately etched with a florally inspired abstract design which complements the font to perfection. Replacement 20th Century clear glass chimney as one would expect. At some time during it's life, this piece has been converted for use as an electric lamp, only to be sympathetically restored to it's original condition at some later date. Evidence of this conversion may still be seen by way of a small hole drilled in one side of the brass base. This however does not, we feel, detract in any way from the beauty of this quite exceptional lamp.

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.

FAQs

Victorian Ionic column oil lamps feature a metal base constructed in the form of a classical Greek Ionic column, characterized by scroll-like volutes on the capital, topped with a glass oil reservoir, burner mechanism, and glass shade.

Lamps from this period were predominantly crafted using cast or polished brass, copper, or silver plate for the base and column, while the reservoirs and shades utilised pressed, blown, or etched glass, including cranberry or vaseline glass.

Authentic pieces often bear maker stamps on the burner knob, such as Hinks or Messenger, feature heavy cast brass construction with threaded fittings, and show natural oxidisation alongside age-appropriate wear to the burner components.

A Victorian column lamp functions as a decorative focal point when placed on a dark wood sideboard, console table, or library desk, bridging classical architectural forms with modern maximalist or traditional interiors.

Glass shades and chimneys should be washed gently with mild soapy water, avoiding abrasive chemicals, whilst brass components require dusting with a soft cloth and occasional light application of un-lacquered metal polish to retain patination.
