Superb Heavy 19th C Burnished Cast Metal Oil Lamp, Matador Burner, Etched Globe
SUPERB HEAVY 19TH C BURNISHED CAST METAL OIL LAMP, MATADOR BURNER, ETCHED GLOBE. SUPERB LATE 19TH CENTURY CAST METAL OIL LAMP. This very decorative oil lamp base i believe dates to the last quarter of the 19th century. The oil lamp stands approximately 67.7cm high to the top of the glass chimney.
With a base diameter at its widest point of approximately 16.2cm. I believe the whole base is made from cast metal but has been'bronzed' and burnished.
The base is extremely decorative with an Art Nouveau pattern in light relief, this rises up to the circular bowl again with Art Nouveau detail, the top of the bowl lifts off to reveal the font beneath. This in turn supports the bayonet fit brass apperture for the burner. The burner is a matador burner and to the black enamel winder knob it is impressed with Defrie's Brilliant Burner, Made in Berlin.
The gallery supports a satin glass globe with the lower third in clear glass. Condition is good commensurate with age and use, please see condition report for full details.
