This is an authentic late 19th to early 20th-century German brass finger oil lamp. The burner thumbwheel is clearly marked with the German inscription "PRIMA RUND-BRENNER," which translates to a high-quality round burner system. The piece features a classic coronet or "crown" gallery designed to hold a glass chimney.
Constructed from lightweight pressed brass, the lamp includes a side finger handle for portability and a wide saucer-style base to catch oil drips. The brass surface displays a genuine aged patina with natural tarnish and historical solder points consistent with its age.
Dimensions:
Height: 14cm
Length: 15cm
Base Diameter: 12cm
Condition: The lamp is in very good antique condition. It is being sold as a decorative piece or for restoration, as the burner knob is currently seized and the glass chimney is not included.
This piece would suit industrial, rustic farmhouse, or traditional Victorian-style decor. It is a fantastic choice for collectors of period lighting or those looking for an authentic restoration project.
