This lot comprises three items including two Victorian style brass oil lamps and a hexagonal leaded glass shade. The first lamp is a duplex burner model constructed from brass with a stepped circular base and a pedestal supporting a bulbous reservoir. It features two thumbwheel adjusters and is fitted with a tall, straight-sided glass chimney. The chimney bears an etched circular mark towards the top containing the text HINKS above a central anchor device and MADE IN ENGLAND below. The second lamp is a single-burner brass model with a flared circular base and reservoir, fitted with a wide slotted gallery ring designed to support a globe and a bulbous glass chimney. The leaded glass shade is of hexagonal form in a Tiffany style, featuring blue six-petaled flowers set against a cream and yellow background with green and burgundy accents. The shade is constructed with lead cames and copper foil, featuring a circular metal collar at the top for fitting to a lamp gallery.
