This beautiful matching pair of antique stand oil lamps showcases vibrant emerald green pressed glass fonts with intricate fluted vertical ribbing, bulbous reservoirs, and scalloped petal-like edges at the top rims and mid-sections for a decorative Victorian flair. The fonts are solidly fused or mounted to opaque white milk glass stems and bases via original brass connectors, creating a stable, integrated composite design typical of mid-19th-century American lighting. The milk glass bases feature ribbed columnar stems transitioning to wide, wavy scalloped feet (cloud or quatrefoil shape) for excellent balance. Each lamp is topped with its original period brass burner featuring double parallel wick tubes (with air holes for efficient burning), designed specifically for whale oil. These burners screw securely into threaded collars on the fonts, show authentic aged patina and oxidation, and remain fully intact without modern replacements—a key rarity that boosts collector appeal. No chimneys are present or needed for this pre-kerosene style, though they could be added for display. Standing approximately 13.5 inches tall and 4 inches wide at the base, these lamps make stunning tabletop, mantel, or shelf accents. They are ideal for collectors of Victorian antiques, Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG), colored pressed glass, or whale oil-era lighting. The matching set, original double burners, and excellent preservation make this pair particularly desirable.

Origin: American, likely produced by a prominent New England glassworks such as the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company (or similar manufacturers like New England Glass Co.), known for innovative pressed glass fonts, milk glass components, and composite oil lamps in the mid-19th century. The style reflects Victorian-era craftsmanship with influences from European designs adapted for U.S. markets.

Age: Circa 1850-1880, aligning with the peak of whale oil and burning fluid lamp production before widespread kerosene adoption post-1860s. The double-wick burner and pressed glass patterns are hallmarks of this transitional period.

Condition: Excellent antique condition for the era: No chips, cracks or repairs on the glass fonts or milk glass bases. The emerald green color remains rich and glossy with only light age-related surface scratches/wear. Milk glass is clean, bright, and free of discoloration or damage. Original brass burners and connectors exhibit natural patina, minor oxidation, and historical character but no heavy corrosion or breakage—threads engage smoothly. Overall, well-preserved, display-ready, and structurally sound.
