AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large living-room oil lamp - Napoleonic III era / early Third Republic - France, late 19th century (around 1880-1900).

Impressive antique oil lamp resting on an elegant Rococo-style tripod foot in silver-plated metal, typical of French decorative production of the late 19th century.

The reservoir is made of satin blown glass, richly hand-decorated with enameled floral motifs. The mount is brass with a flat-wick burner and an original pierced gallery.
The lamp retains its antique glass chimney engraved "Fabrication Française - Marque Déposée - VP - 14'''", corresponding to the standard 14-line size, perfectly coherent with the period.

The whole is entirely original and has not been electrified.

Very beautiful decorative piece representative of French bourgeois living-room lamps of the late 19th century.
