This is a fine antique paraffin or oil lamp which dates to the Victorian era.  

It is a bit of a show-stopper and would have been used in a fine house probably in the parlour or dining room. It would have been placed upon the mantlepiece to reflect more light around the round. And to provide a dramatic focal point in dark Victorian interiors. 

It comes from my husband's collection and he has owned it for many years.

This one has a heavy black glass base with a brass foot attached - from which rises a column decorated with fine fluted ribs. Then we have the clear crystal reservoir which is faceted all around. This reservoir is where you would put your fluid to light the lamp. Then we have the brass gallery where the shade and chimney sit.  

The shade is original to the lamp and also dates to the 19th Century.  It is an attractive one - the bottom section is clear with engraved patterns, as photographed. The upper section is a golden amber shade with a frilled edge all around. The clear glass chimney full sits inside the shade.    

The gallery was made by Young's and it is marked on the duplex double wick winder. James "Paraffin" Young was the first person to refine and sell paraffin for lamps. Young came from Bathgate in West Lothian, Scotland. He founded the first commercial-producing oil refinery in the world. He also established Young’s Paraffin Light and Mineral Oil Company which was a world-wide success, selling the finest oil and paraffin lamps as far afield as America

It is a fine decorative item and would look amazing in a period interior. 

It will be sent to you in the UK with Parcelforce 24. This will be capped at £10 and applied to your order at the checkout.
