Oil lamp - Hand-painted green Opalina oil lamp with flowers at the base and on the cup part.

Beautiful green opaline oil lamp, hand-painted with floral motifs, late 1800s to early 1900s.
Rare to find green ones because they are mostly white and blue with printed decorations, while this one features a band of flowers on the top and bottom of the cup, painted by hand.
It features a long base measuring 21 cm made of chased bronze, round in shape but entirely fluted. From here, the central part of the lamp rises, with a first band in opaline with two gold lines inside, within which two bouquets of flowers are painted in colors such as white, blue, and red. There are three bouquets, connected by gold-colored leaves. A red bud bears the signature of the painter. The painting is 9 cm high and encircles the entire perimeter of the lampshade.
A splendid decoration where the same flowers are depicted at the lower part of the lamp that contained the oil. After the bulbous painted part, it begins to narrow, and on a brass ring, the cup rests, which once was filled with oil to illuminate.
This second round part is also painted with the same pattern as the lower part, which features a white and red design. On top of this rests the brass part with the wick, which was once lit to provide illumination. Above this is a brass ring, on which the glass cup is placed; this served as a spark guard.
The color is light green, darker only in one turn on the lower part and one turn on the upper part. It is very rare because most were colored in light blue, green, ochre pink, but especially printed. In fact, what attests to the importance of the lamp is the fact that it is hand-painted, whereas most have printed bucolic scenes. Its color easily matches house colors and can complement modern or antique furniture, given the lamp's linearity. It can be made into a beautiful lamp or a decorative piece, either alone or with others.
Like all the objects I sell, they come from my ancestors' family palace and private collection. From the items I found at home, I deduce that some were collectors, such as the petroleum items given the large number, but mainly that every object they had made was meant to be special and above all different from the usual. They loved beauty in everything related to the house and had many pieces of furniture and ornaments made, thinking about the dowry to give to their children.
I found them at home along with a large number of objects and furniture, and instead of keeping them locked in a closet, I decided to sell them.
In a wardrobe, I have a collection of petrol items of various sizes, materials, and ages, but there are really many of them. I prefer to sell them rather than keep them stored in a wardrobe because of that.
New life
I had Nom electrify it, leaving it original but electrified, and with a lampshade, it becomes a beautiful lamp.
Petroleum of the past
Photos are more eloquent than words in demonstrating the beauty and uniqueness of the object.
It will be well packed and protected with a thousand bubbles and sponge, then placed in a box.
