The clear etched glass shade is beautiful and sets the lamp off perfectly. the design is of stylized flowers and leaves. This shade is in near perfect condition with no nibbles or chips in the glass.

Very Rare Pair Of Victorian Moderator Oil Lamps Here is a fabulous and very rare pair of beautiful early Victorian Moderator Oil Lamps. Genuine lighting history! These lamps would make a magnificent decoration piece. They are not working oil lamps as moderator lamps were fueled with pressed olive oil and became obsolete for lighting purposes soon after the paraffin (kerosene) distillation process was discovered in 1847. Many were converted at later dates to light from electricity but there are no signs that these lamps have been tampered with in this way. From what I can see the original workings and moderators appear to be intact. When I purchased these oil lamps they were described as being porcelain, but I think they are actually made from beautiful thick midnight blue glass. The transfer printed floral decoration has been hand painted. These oil lamps are in nice condition and are remarkably unscathed for their age. The brass burner holder on one has a slight dint and there is an almost un-noticeable score in the glass towards the base of the other lamp. The brass burner top gallery on the right hand lamp can be seen to differ from it's partner the original must have been lost at one time but it would function well as a shade holder if put to use. There is also evidence of a few soldered repairs to the inside burner mechanisms and so are hidden from view.

Very Rare Canton Ceramic Moderator Lamp This is a most unusual and rare Canton ceramic moderator lamp with ornate cast brass base and mounts, most likely dating from the early part of the 19th century. In excellent condition it is untouched uncleaned and undisturbed from the time of acquisition. The brass oil / mechanism holder has been drilled to convert to electricity but all wiring and fitments are now removed. It could be rewired and refitted or it may be possible to restore it to it's original purpose. The mechanism and spring still vibrate through the lamp, the drill holes could be brazed and the leather piston could be renewed and without disassembling to check the burner seems to be intact. A most interesting challenge for the serious collector or a lovely lamp for the non technical person!
