A Stylish
Table Oil Lamp With Blue Glass Fount
This
table oil lamp most likely dates from the early 20th century and is
a nice piece.
The
fount is of opaque blue glass with a simple pretty flower and leaf
pattern. Connected to this is a very clean screw fitting duplex (twin
wick) burner with snuffer mechanism. Embossed on the brass wick winder
knobs is "British Made"
It
has a nice quality reeded brass stand with base resting on a glazed
ceramic plinth. There is a very slight dint in the brass base and
a little manufacturing flaw to the edge of the plinth.
The
acid etched swirl shade is a high quality hand made modern replacement
manufactured by about the last remaining shade maker in the UK.
A lovely
oil lamp in working order.
