AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beatiful set of three Mid-Century oil lamps, crafted from copper and fitted with substantial brass components.
The elegant conical bodies display a beautiful, naturally developed patina with warm copper, brown and reddish tones. Each lamp has a long cotton wick with a heavy brass pull knob. Heavy brass spheres are also fitted inside the bases, giving the lamps a solid and distinctive construction.
The three lamps have been checked and do not leak. Their sculptural shapes make them attractive decorative objects, both individually and displayed together.
The design resembles the Dutch “Moeke” oil lamps associated with Pieter Spruyt. As no maker’s mark or label is present, the attribution cannot be guaranteed.
Dimensions:
* Largest lamp: approximately 16 cm high and 9 cm in diameter
* Smaller lamps: approximately 14.7 cm high and 7 cm in diameter
* Total combined weight: 363 grams
* Number of items: 3
Condition:
Good vintage condition, with natural oxidation, surface wear, colour variations and a rich original patina consistent with age and use. The lamps have not been polished, preserving their authentic appearance. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.
The set will be packaged carefully for shipping.
We hope you will enjoy this special vintage set. After receiving your purchase, we would greatly appreciate it if you could leave us a review.
