Antique Victorian Cast Brass Wild & Wessel Harvard Student Oil Lamp Kosmos 1880

Antique Victorian Cast Brass Wild & Wessel Harvard Student Oil Lamp Kosmos 1880. Here we have an extremely decorative and highly sought after Victorian period oil lamp dating from around 1880. A Wild and Wessel student's Harvard brass oil lamp, it has a cast brass Aladdin style lamp bowl. The lamp has a Wild and Wessel Kosmos centre draught burner which is marked on the end of the wick winder.

It has a weighted base marked W&W 1373. We think that this is possibly quite an early one as the front of the air tube has a mark which states patent. Later one's have the word patent with the name Wild and Wessel below. Some also have Berlin engraved on them.

The heavy cast brass Aladdin style bowl or reservoir has low relief decoration including lion's head and scrolls. With bearded face front and back. The shade ring sits into a slot in the top of the bowl. The screw on the top is used to adjust the height of the lamp on the handled pillar.

The Kosmos burner held in place by air inlet rose on the bottom. The burner gallery has been damaged and repaired. Replacement cased enamel green and white shade and chimney. The burner is topped by a clear glass chimney which sits perfectly in place.

The lamp stands 24 inches high overall and 8 inches wide and 12 inches long. Item Condition : Very good antique condition. The shade support ring may have been resoldered a couple of millimetres out of position. The shade and chimney are replacements. The body is in original condition and has not been altered nor drilled in any way for electricity.

The lamp weighs 5.2kg unpacked. The courier price may vary significantly from those listed depending upon your location.
