The Oil Lamp has become
hugely collectible in the UK and Worldwide.
A generation or two ago, when electric light was a novelty beautiful oil
lamps
were thrown out, commissioned to the shed or
attic, or even worse converted to electricity by drilling through
beautiful cut glass founts and fine brass stands to insert flex.

"Discovering
OIl Lamps" by Cecil A. Meadows
contains an incredible amount of information - everything needed to become
an oil lamps expert!
I've
found cobweb covered oil lamps in attics, old oil lamps
in ancient garages. I recall a grimy black antique oil lamp lying
on a shelf in a stables saddle room. This cleaned up as a fantastic
amber glass oil lamp. A beautiful, forlorn Hinks ornate brass
oil lamp was the only occupant of a large stone barn about to be
converted to holiday apartments.
Famous
oil lamp names such as Hinks, Messenger, Young's and Evered
should have the chance to be seen again!
Every
oil lamp is looking for a good home where it can again
be displayed, pampered and admired for the article of beauty it is!
A
fine Victorian oil lamp looks splendid as a dining table centre
piece or taking pride of place on a sideboard.
Have
a look round the Oil Lamp Store: see if one or more of these lovely
oil lamps suits your lifestyle.

If an oil lamp is lit and placed under curtains or inflammable material
or where children and pets can knock it over
it could be a fire
risk!
Because of this please note the paragraph below for your safety.
