AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful authentic specimen of the famous Brass Pigeon Lamp, dating from the late 19th century / early 20th century. This polished brass model features on its handle the famous safety inscription: "Who will blow up a Pigeon Lamp...". The engraving is remarkably sharp and perfectly legible.
Overall condition: Good general aesthetic condition with a beautiful patina of age.
Note: traces of old oxidation and verdigris visible mainly under the base (see photos).
Components: The original knurled wheel is present and functional.
The teardrop-shaped glass globe is intact, with no cracks or chips (presence of era dust and light soot traces inside).
Bonus: The original wick is still present. An ideal item for collectors of folk art, antique lighting fixtures, or for a refined vintage interior decor.
