Hanging lamp - Opaline glass

This item is an antique hanging oil lamp (also known as a kerosene lamp), which has been converted for electric use.

This specific model is characterized by a frame of brass or bronze and white opal glass (milk glass) shades decorated with colorful floral motifs and garlands.

These lamps are in the Victorian style (like the "Lampe Belge") and date from the late 19th century to the early 20th century (circa 1900).

Design: The frame is often richly decorated with scrolls and hangs from elegant chains.
Material: The white shades are made of opal glass, a type of glass that softly diffuses light.
The floral decorations are nicely finished.
