Description from the seller

Exclusive G.V. Harnisch Eftf. Danish Designer Oil Lamp – Solid Brass & Glass – Royal Heritage – Copenhagen

Lot Description: Offered here is an exquisite piece of Danish design history: an original oil lamp crafted by the world-renowned G.V. Harnisch Eftf. in Copenhagen. Established in 1842, Harnisch is celebrated as an official purveyor to the Royal Danish Court, and their pieces are highly coveted by collectors of nautical and Scandinavian antiques.

This lamp is a stunning marriage of form and function. It features a heavy, polished brass pedestal base with a slender, elegant stem that holds a hand-blown clear glass reservoir. The contrast between the golden luster of the brass and the transparency of the glass creates a sophisticated, warm atmosphere.

Technical Details & Condition:

Manufacturer: G.V. Harnisch Eftf. (Est. 1842)

Origin: Copenhagen, Denmark.

Markings: Fully hallmarked on the base with the official G.V. Harnisch seal and model registration number: MØNSTER ANM. ANS. 239-80.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The brass maintains a brilliant mirror-like finish with minimal signs of age. The glass globe is intact without chips or cracks. The original wick is included.

Exclusivity: This is a registered model (Mønster Anm.), making it a verified, authentic design rather than a mass-market reproduction.

Why bid on this lot? This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Danish craftsmanship that bridges the gap between mid-century modern aesthetics and 19th-century traditional quality. It is ready for immediate display or use in a high-end interior.
