AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An attractive pair of oil lamps (kerosene) from the antique era, dating from the first half of the 20th century, made of worked glass and metal.

The first lamp features a structure and reservoir entirely in calm amber-colored, transparent glass, with elegant turned lines, topped by a classic transparent glass chimney. height 42 cm diameter 11 cm

The second lamp showcases a reservoir in emerald green glass mounted on a solid metal base with vintage pierced work; it is completed by a satinized/smoothed glass shade with a wavy upper edge and refined engraved decorations (crests/heraldry) on the surface.
height 42 cm diameter 12 cm

Both are equipped with the original metal/brass burners with the typical vintage keys for adjusting the wick.

Conditions: General vintage good condition. The glass components and shades are intact. The physiological signs of time and a natural vintage patina on the metal parts and burner mechanisms are evident, confirming authenticity.
