Description
CENTER LAMP - Rayo brand antique nickel-plated oil lamp, the undisputed star of this trio. The burner cap bears a clearly stamped Rayo maker mark with patent dates, and the ornate pierced gallery crown and honeycomb burner wick assembly are intact and original. The wide squat font reservoir sits atop a flared pedestal base with decorative pierced quatrefoil banding. The tall clear glass chimney measures approximately 20 inches and is free of chips or cracks, making this a genuinely display-ready piece dating to the early 1900s.
LEFT LAMP - A handsome brass oil lamp that has been electrically converted at some point in its history, complete with a period-style cloth-wrapped cord and inline on/off switch. The domed brass font retains beautiful warm patina, and the burner assembly has been adapted to accept a standard bulb socket finished in polished brass. The ventilated gallery ring and decorative base feet give it authentic lamp character despite the modern heart beating inside. A great shelf piece or actually functional accent lamp.
RIGHT LAMP - A petite and charming miniature clear glass finger oil lamp with a rosy cranberry-tinted reservoir base, small wire bail chimney holder, and a delicate clear glass hurricane chimney. Compact and sweet, this little lamp was made for a bedside or travel use and retains what appears to be original colored oil still inside the font. A lovely decorative accent that punches well above its small size.
