Description from the seller
Antique BEG Gladiator Paris oil lamp No. 20 – black enameled ceramic with gold floral decoration – functional
Superb French oil lamp from the late 19th century or early 20th century, equipped with its original burner stamped BEG Gladiator Paris 20.
This elegant lamp features a spherical reservoir in black enamelled ceramic, richly hand-decorated with white and pink flowers accented by gilded foliage. The decoration, inspired by the Japonism fashionable during the Belle Époque, gives the whole a refined and timeless charm.
The mount and the burner are in patinated brass. The flat-wick burner is complete with its original pierced gallery and functional adjustment system. The lamp comes with its clear glass chimney.
The whole is in working condition, which is a valuable asset for collectors and fans of antique lighting.
Condition:
Very good overall condition. Some signs of use, slight wear to the decoration and brass patina in keeping with the object's age. No visible damage to the chimney. Wick adjustment mechanism operational; see photos—they are an integral part of the description.
A beautiful decorative and collectible piece, representative of French know-how from the Belle Époque.
