Lot of 5 Antique French Safety Oil Lamps / Miners Lamps – Brass & Metal – late 19th / early 20th century A charming and authentic collection of six antique French safety oil lamps, most likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. These small lamps were commonly used as portable safety lamps in workshops, mines or industrial environments, and several examples feature mounting brackets allowing them to be attached to a wall or fixed surface. The lamps are crafted from brass and other metal alloys, each with slightly different shapes and finishes, illustrating the evolution of industrial lighting equipment of the period. Some retain engraved maker markings and decorative inscriptions, adding further historical interest. Two of the lamps remain complete and functional, still fitted with their original wick mechanisms, while the remaining examples are missing the wick, but remain excellent decorative or collectible pieces and could potentially be restored. The lot shows a beautiful aged patina consistent with age and use, giving the pieces strong character and authenticity. These lamps make a wonderful decorative industrial display, ideal for collectors of mining memorabilia, industrial antiques, or early lighting devices.
