C1910-1930 Brass Oil Lamp with Shade

1900 - 1920
Description

With the glass funnel in position, the lamp measures 61cm in height and the base is approximately 18cm in diameter.

The glass font is beautifully decorated with fruit and flowers and there is no sign of damage anywhere.

This Edwardian oil lamp dates from the period 1910, combining brass, glass, and a polished black stepped base. The piece comprises a clear glass chimney, an etched floral glass globe shade with a pink shaded top, a hand-painted glass font decorated with fruit and flowers in purple, yellow, and green tones, a fluted brass column with a turned mid-section, and a Duplex burner marked on both brass wick handles. Practical dimensions are 61 cm high, 18 cm wide, and 18 cm deep. Suitable for use in a traditional English Country House interior, the lamp sits neatly upon a sideboard top or a side table to provide atmospheric ambient lighting. The design accommodates interior settings where functional antique lighting serves as a decorative focal point.

FAQs

During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, oil lamps served as primary light sources before widespread municipal electrification. Models produced between 1910 and 1930 often blended functional burner technology with decorative glass elements designed to complement period domestic interiors.

These lamps typically feature cast or pressed brass mechanical burners and columns, combined with hand-blown, tinted, or frosted glass reservoirs and shades. Clear heat-resistant glass was utilised for the inner chimney to withstand high temperatures.

Authentic pieces feature solid brass mechanical components, often stamped with maker marks or patent numbers on the burner knobs. The glass components usually display slight irregularities, pontil marks, or hand-etched detailing rather than uniform modern machine moulding.

An antique oil lamp can be positioned as a decorative focal point on a sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece. Integrating historical lighting alongside contemporary furnishings creates depth and character in contemporary living spaces.

Clean brass components using a soft, dry cloth to preserve natural patina, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners. Glass shades and reservoirs should be washed gently with mild soapy water, taking care not to rub off any delicate hand-painted detailing.
