WORKING ART NOUVEAU KEROSENE OIL CARAVAN LAMP CAST IRON WALL BRACKET, Rd 1897

The whole lamp is clean and polished where appropriate. Projecting just over 11 inches from the wall and standing 20 inches overall height. The cast iron bracket swivel back has two prominent Rd numbers , 296878 and 297071 for 1897. The arm has a cunningly hidden number, 314117, in the decoration, for 1898, and inside the basket is marked 351689 for 1900. As you can see the lamp works well and gives a bright light from a compact bright flame.

The 3/4 inch slip burner gives a surprisingly good light for a relatively small wick and burns cleanly and without smell once the chimney is warmed through if you use clean paraffin. Compact lamp (good for heat too) would suit a compact space, small room, or a caravan , shepherds hut or narrowboat. If used in a vehicle it would need to have the lamp taken out of the cup, glassware removed and stowed safely and the bracket restrained (tied to wall) to prevent damage when in motion. If left complete when van or boat moved it would get broken!

Wick winds up and down nicely, and the burner is complete with its original correct chimney. Glassware is without damage, no cracks chips or burst bubbles. The cast iron bracket is complete and has no cracks, rusted bits or broken off bits. The brass font is free from dents and holds fuel, no leaks, nicely polished. If used in a caravan or boat need to be aware of heat output from the chimney.
