Up for sale is a stunning antique oil lamp from the mid-19th century, circa 1840s, featuring a single burning fluid burner design. This piece showcases the craftsmanship of the era and is a fantastic addition to any vintage lighting or decor collection. This elegant oil lamp stands 7.75 inches tall and features a beautifully molded clear glass font with a ribbed and beaded pattern, likely made from flint glass for its clarity and weight. The pewter burner includes a single upward-extending tube design, typical of burning fluid lamps from the 1830s–1850s, with a wick winder for flame control. Originally designed for burning fluid (a volatile alcohol-turpentine mix) or camphene, it can be adapted for modern lamp oil with a new wick. The lamp sits on a sturdy pedestal base, adding to its Victorian table appeal. Perfect for antique enthusiasts or as a historical piece, this lamp reflects early American lighting innovation.
