A late Victorian or Edwardian table lamp, constructed from brass with glass components. The lamp features a tiered circular pedestal base rising to a bulbous brass font or reservoir. It is fitted with a Duplex double-wick burner mechanism, identified by the embossed characters DUPLEX around the edge of the circular winder knob. The burner assembly is mounted with a brass gallery supporting a large white milk glass domed shade and a clear glass chimney. This lot comprises the lamp base, burner, milk glass shade, and clear glass chimney. T
Condition report:
The brass metalwork shows significant tarnish, oxidation, and a dull patina throughout. There is a notable area of green verdigris corrosion localized around the burner assembly and the arms of the shade gallery (photo 2). The milk glass shade appears intact without visible chips or cracks. The clear glass chimney is present and appears to be in good order.
