An antique Edwardian period brass oil lamp. The lamp is constructed from polished brass, featuring a tiered circular foot and a smooth, globular reservoir. It is fitted with a brass burner assembly including a single knurled wick adjustment knob with incised characters. The lamp is complete with its original-style frosted glass spherical globe shade and a tall, slender clear glass chimney. This item is in its original, unconverted condition for use with kerosene or oil. Visible markings include a white circular sticker on the foot with the number 12 and an orange rectangular sticker on the burner assembly with the hand-written number 37.
Condition report:
The brass surfaces exhibit moderate tarnish and surface oxidation throughout, particularly on the burner assembly and the lower portion of the reservoir. The frosted glass globe shows significant grey staining and surface dirt, especially towards the lower half. The clear glass chimney appears to be intact without visible chips or cracks.
