A Stunning Victorian Porcelain Antique Oil lamp. This gorgeous Oil Lamp has been in my family for many years.
The neo classical porcelain urn oil lamp is in very good overall condition, commensurate with age & use. It has been much loved over the years & has always been kept clean & in perfect working order. It is free from any damage, cracks or restoration and the gilding to the porcelain is in extremely good order throughout with only minor ware consumerate with age. The twin handled porcelain urn features panels(on both sides of the urn) of a cherub holding a bird framed in gold gilding. There is also flower decoration either side of the panels in gold gilding.
The porcelain decorative urn is nicely finished off with a gilded brass ornate base. As you can see from the pictures this is a really beautiful & highly decorative antique Oil Lamp of the highest quality. The lamp is in full working order & featues a twin wick brass burner & a 4 shade gallery. It is complete with its 2 wicks and its snuffer is working perfectly & features a brass oil resevour which fits neatly into the body of the porcelain. The lamp is finished off with a lovely shade featuring etched flowers & foilage throughout which is free from any damage, cracks or restoration.
There are some tiny nibbles to the shade rim base as you would expect which cannot be seen at all once placed on the gallery & I only mention it for complete accuracy. The chimney is also free from any damage & is in perfect order.This item as with all quality antique oil lamp is of excellent proportions & a beautiful example of its type. Overall height of Oil Lamp incl shade approx 24 1/2. Height to top of Hinks burner approx 14 1/2. Width of Oil Lamp Base at widest point approx 8 1/2.
Width of Shade at widest point approx 7 1/4. This really is a lovely lamp & would make an ideal gift for that special person.
