Description from the seller
Antique Neo-Empire petroleum lamp base with Kosmos Burner – ca. 1880–1900
Object description
Atmospheric antique oil lamp base in the Neo-Empire style, dating from the late 19th century. The lamp is made of heavy brass with a beautiful natural patina and features decorative metal accents.
