How do I convert an old oil lamp?

Conversion typically involves running a discreet electrical flex through the existing burner path without drilling the antique body. Professionals retain original components so the alteration remains completely reversible.

Were these always electrified?

These pieces burned paraffin, oil, or gas during the nineteenth century before electricity reached domestic interiors. Most surviving examples were adapted for modern wiring during the twentieth century.

How do I clean opaline glass?

Wash the glass gently in lukewarm water using a mild, non-abrasive soap and a soft cloth. Avoid soaking metal mounts or submerging vintage parts that retain old adhesives or painted decoration.

What is a duplex burner?

A duplex burner uses two parallel flat wicks to produce a wider flame and brighter light output than single-wick designs. This mechanism was patented in the Victorian period to improve indoor illumination.
