Large oil lamp, baluster base in cream earthenware with floral decoration of butterflies in flight, bronze mounting, crystal tank with twisted ribs, acid-etched glass globe of birds in flight, garlands of flowers and knotted ribbons.

Height approx. 78.5 cm. Messenger's Nº2 Patent Duplex" two-wick mechanism, named after Samuel S Messengers & Sons, an English lighting manufacturer established in Birmingham from 1835.

The mechanism has not (yet) been tested, but appears complete and functional.

No accidents, a tiny chip at the end of the lamp tube, bronzes to be cleaned or kept with its patina according to taste.

Superb, highly decorative lamp

Available for collection in Montpellier, Avignon, Marseille and surrounding areas, and can be shipped in very careful packaging.
