Description from the seller

Old oil lamp – Blue glass reservoir, silver-plated metal base and Bohemian crystal chimney – 19th century

Elegant antique oil lamp, probably from the end of the 19th century.

It features a superb waisted translucent pale blue glass reservoir, enhanced with intense blue hues and a molded relief decoration with undulating motifs.

It is topped with an old finely worked brass burner, equipped with a pierced gallery with a festooned decorative motif and a decorative adjustment knob.

The lamp rests on a lovely baluster base in silver-plated metal, adorned with moldings and a decorative relief frieze.

It is accompanied by its glass chimney bearing the inscription “Cristal de Bohême,” a noteworthy mention that constitutes an interesting detail of this piece.

The whole offers a beautiful harmony between the bright blue of the reservoir, the golden tones of the brass and the silvery shine of the base.

Period: end of the 19th century, approximate dating.

Materials: blue molded glass, brass, silver-plated metal and chimney marked “Cristal de Bohême.”

Condition: good antique condition, with signs of use and patina of time, see the photos; they are part of the description.

A pretty collectible piece and decoration, bearing witness to the refinement of antique lighting.
