For sale is a stunning vintage Scovill Queen Anne #2 oil lamp, dating back to circa 1880-1920, embodying the elegant craftsmanship of the late Victorian to early Edwardian era. Manufactured with a solid brass flat-wick burner marked "Queen Anne #2" by the renowned Scovill Manufacturing Company, this parlor lamp features a beautifully etched clear glass font with intricate floral and vine patterns, designed to diffuse light elegantly. The base showcases a hand-painted ceramic or porcelain insert with delicate pinkish tones and branch motifs, mounted on a stable square pedestal for a classic Victorian touch. The turned brass column complements the overall aesthetic, while the wick knob embossed with "Scoville" highlights its authentic hardware.

This duplex flat-wick design, using a 7/8" wide cotton wick (replacement needed), provides reliable dual-flame illumination, perfect for historical reenactments, off-grid use, or as a decorative centerpiece in steampunk or vintage interiors. The lamp stands 13.5" inches high, with a base of roughly 5x5 inches. The burner threads are 1-3/16" for #2 collars, compatible with standard 3" chimneys (not included but available for ~$10).

Condition is excellent for its age, with the brass displaying an attractive patina that enhances its antique charm, and the glass remaining pristine. The base paint shows minor fading from over a century of use but retains its vibrant character. This piece is untested for functionality due to the likely need for a new wick, but it is mechanically sound with no major repairs evident.
