Antique Victorian HINKS 45CP Brass Rise And Fall Oil Lamp Complete With Chimney

Charming Antique Victorian HINKS 45CP Brass Oil Lamp Complete With Teardrop Chimney. A nice early piece, as the business was called James Hinks & Son by 1862. Though of course they may have been using old stock for a short while. Stands on four little brass bun feet.

The brass is really nicely toned with no corrosion spots, nice quality brass. There is dent, which is kind of multi dented, otherwise it is in really fantastic condition.

The rise and fall lifting lever works well as you can see, sadly there is no wick. So cannot test the wick winding.

Nice decorative filler cap, lifting lever and impressed wick winder terminal. Please do study the photos and measurements. 43cms or 17 in total height. A base diameter of 10cms or 4. A body diameter of approx 16cms.

The lamp on it's own is approx 21cms or just over 8 in height.
