Striking in contrast and silhouette, this pair of oil lamps showcases vivid emerald green glass fonts set atop stepped milk glass pedestals. Executed in the mid 20th century in the Victorian Revival tradition, the flared, scalloped green glass reservoirs and brass-ferruled column connections reference mid-19th-century American composite stand lamp designs. The dramatic play between deep translucent green and opaque milk glass provides a classic focal accent for traditional, country house, or eclectic interior schemes.
