The antique oil lamp above was a very pretty early Victorian lamp with a large pink acid etched shade, decorative gun metal (?) column and base, duplex wick turner (Hinks No 2), double wick with two wicks all working well and a chimney. It was 45cm tall and the base was felt covered underneath and possibly lead weighted as the lamp was extremely heavy, which made it less likely to be knocked over. The cut glass font has a very pretty and delicate floral design. This lamp was snapped up pretty quickly!
