A Colourful Antique Oil Lamp Complete With Original Shade

A great example of a Victorian duplex oil lamp with an original tulip shade. The lamp font is of moulded opaline glass with the decoration in high relief, the colouration is a peach colour graduating down to a pale pink. The font is in flawless condition with no chips or cracks. The duplex burner is an old one with a star design on the brass wick winder wheels, it has been overhauled, polished and rewicked. It works smoothly as does the snuffer mechanism.

This is mounted on a reeded column, baseplate and black ironstone base which has no chips or cracks. The stunning and rare original tulip shade is acid etched with an art nouveau design and is in absolutely mint condition.

The whole lamp has been cleaned and polished and is a most attractive oil lamp standing at 26 overall. Under new legislation I can no longer sell to the U.
