This matching pair of nineteenth-century Victorian oil peg lamps brings a distinct Highland hunting lodge aesthetic to interiors. Each lamp combines ruby red and gold glass with brass and clear glass elements, standing on a cast brass base formed of three hunting dogs and a hunting horn bugle. Above the brass pillars sit etched glass reservoirs adorned with floral patterns, supporting frilled cranberry shades and clear chimneys. The visual composition includes detailed metalwork, etched glass textures, and ruffled glass rims. Measuring 51 cm high, 15 cm wide, and 15 cm deep, these lamps function as striking decorative accents on a mantelpiece. They suit traditional living spaces or studies as ambient statement pieces, integrating seamlessly into classical interior schemes.

FAQs

Popular during the late nineteenth century, peg lamps featured a glass or metal reservoir attached to a peg that slotted into separate brass stands or candlesticks, often incorporating decorative coloured glass such as ruby or cranberry.

These lamps typically combine cast brass, hand-blown or etched cranberry and ruby glass, and clear glass chimney flues designed to withstand heat from the burner.

Genuine period examples display hand-cut or etched patterns on the glass reservoirs, period burner mechanisms with maker marks, and naturally aged cast brass bases showing minor oxidisation.

Placing a pair of colourful glass lamps on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table introduces warm tones and historical contrast against contemporary muted walls or traditional dark woodwork.

Clean glass shades and chimneys using warm water and mild detergent, while wiping the brass bases with a dry, soft cloth to preserve the natural patina without stripping protective finishes.
