Description from the seller
Set of 4 vintage oil lanterns – 3 Made in Germany + 1 Made in China.
Description
Set of four vintage oil lanterns made of enameled metal, produced between the mid-20th century and the end of the 20th century.
Three lanterns are original Made in Germany, as visible from the embossed markings on the hat and tank (see photo). These models are typical of camping lanterns, railway, and German emergency lighting, appreciated for their robustness and build quality.
The fourth lantern, larger in size, is Made in China and is a subsequent version, provided as a complete structure but without the burner assembly.
One of the German lanterns has been converted into an electric version, as shown by the cable and plug. This modification makes it particularly interesting as an industrial-style decorative lamp.
The tile features a highly decorative combination of green and yellow colors, ideal for industrial, vintage, and retro furnishings.
