This Edwardian oil lamp forms a decorative lighting piece for the home, designed in an English Country House style. The composition combines vibrant cranberry red glass components with gold-toned brass hardware, featuring a swirled glass reservoir and a crimped shade rim topped by a glass flume. The fixture stands on a slender fluted column stem supported by an ornate cast rococo base with scrolling feet. The metal burner mechanism sits beneath the shade, incorporating adjustment keys and hardware fittings. Measuring 68 cm high, 23 cm wide, and 23 cm deep, this lamp fits well upon a sideboard top or a side table within a traditional living space or hallway to provide ambient illumination.

FAQs

Edwardian cranberry glass oil lamps combine functional lighting mechanisms with decorative coloured glass shades and fonts, often set upon fluted brass stems and ornate cast bases. The signature pink-red tone was achieved by incorporating gold chloride into the glass mixture during manufacture.

These lamps typically feature hand-blown or moulded cranberry glass components, brass burner mechanisms, clear glass chimneys, and solid brass or bronze columns and bases designed to support the reservoir.

Authentic period examples often feature pontil marks on blown glass elements, maker stamps or patent marks on the brass wick burner, and authentic signs of age such as natural oxidisation on the brass components.

Positioning an antique oil lamp on a sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece creates a focal point in traditional or eclectic modern interiors, serving as decorative accent lighting or a historical display piece.

Dust glass shades gently with a soft microfibre cloth and wash glass elements using lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners on brass components to preserve historical patina and original finishes.
