Pair of vintage petrol lamps from the first half of the 20th century, made in Italy, featuring opaline and black glass, in good used condition and in working order, complete with glass chimneys.
Description from the seller
Pair of vintage oil lamps – opaline decorated glass and black glass – complete with glass chimneys lampshades
Pair of elegant decorative vintage oil lamps, different from each other but very harmonious as a set, both complete with metal burner and long glass chimney.
The first lamp features a very dark black glass body, almost amethyst in light, decorated with small light floral motifs. The form is slender, with a circular base, a contoured central body and a glossy finish. The burner retains the classic perforated metal structure with a side regulator.
The second lamp is made of white opaline glass, with rich multicolored floral decoration in pink, red, green and blue tones, enriched with gold details. The reservoir features a decorative band with thin red and gold vegetal motifs, while the lower part rests on a circular gold-toned base with evident patina and signs of aging.
One of the glass chimneys bears an interesting decorative mark with an eagle and the inscription “CRISTAL”.
Both retain their original charm and are suitable both for collection and as decorative elements for classic, eclectic or vintage interiors.
Dimensions:
black lamp: height about 58 cm, maximum diameter about 14 cm
white lamp: height about 55 cm, maximum diameter about 12 cm
Conditions: generally good vintage condition, with signs of aging, wear, small losses of decoration and patina on metal parts, more evident on the gold base of the white lamp. The glass chimneys are present; normal signs of use and irregularities consistent with age are noticeable. Functionality has not been tested, but in one instance the original wick and the knobs turn for adjustment. The photographs are an integral part of the description.
