AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful and guaranteed 100% authentic example of the famous French Lampe-Olympe petrol or oil lamp.
This example is absolutely not a later reproduction.
Its authenticity is immediately confirmed by the razor-sharp, deeply stamped French factory engraving on the body, including the iconic five engraved rings beneath the text, which served as an official anti-counterfeiting mark.
The text describes the lamp as “inexplosible” (non-explosive) and a guarantee of absolute safety (“Sécurité Absolue”).
The lamp is fully complete with its original glass chimney, a smoothly turning mechanism with the characteristic star-shaped logo on the knob, the original wick, and the handle at the back.
A beautiful and honest collector’s item with very clear engraving.
