This is a striking example of a two-tone composite kerosene lamp. The font is crafted from deep emerald green glass with a repeating pressed pattern of stylized scrolls and fleur-de-lis, common in the late Victorian era. The font is fused to a clear, pressed-glass pedestal base. The base design features large, six-pointed star motifs (often referred to as the Star of David in antique glass circles) set within circular panels, separated by vertical ribbing.
The brass burner is a classic Queen Anne No. 1, known for its scalloped wick adjuster and reliable performance. This lamp stands 9.25" tall to the top of the burner, making it a "stand lamp" size, perfect for a mantel or side table.
