Description
At 40 cm tall and combining brass, majolica-glazed ceramic, and textured glass, this antique kerosene oil lamp is one of the most striking and complex pieces in the collection.
Dating to possibly post-1895, this lamp brings together a textured glass base, a green majolica-glazed ceramic cover, and an aged brass burner assembly fitted with a Kosmos Matador draft tube, flame spreader, working mechanism, and wick. The Kosmos Matador burner is a mark of quality — a German-made precision burner widely regarded as among the finest of the kerosene lamp era. A significant collector's piece for anyone interested in antique lighting, period interiors, or decorative objects of the late Victorian era.
