Presented for your consideration is a stunning Coolidge Drape (Victorian Drape) finger-hold kerosene lamp in vibrant cobalt blue glass. This Early American Pressed Glass (EAPG) pattern features elegant, cascading drapes separated by vertical ribbed pilasters, creating a beautiful play of light through the deep blue pigment.

The lamp is equipped with a period brass burner marked "P. & A. MFG. CO. RISDON MFG. CO. DANBURY, CT. MADE IN U.S.A." on the thumbwheel. It comes complete with a clear glass chimney featuring a delicate pie-crust crimped rim. The glass body is thick and well-molded, retaining the deep, rich "poison blue" color favored by EAPG enthusiasts.
