Product description
This set includes two antique French mineral oil lamps, one from the Pigeon brand dating from 1885 and the other from the Olympe model also dating from the late 19th century.
Made of brass, these pieces bear witness to the utilitarian design of that era before electrification. They represent a type of portable lighting that was essential and widely used.
Each lamp is entirely made of brass, which gives them a robust structure and a period aesthetic. The cylindrical bodies rest on flared bases for better stability and are engraved with inscriptions detailing the brand, the type of fuel to be used, and safety guarantees. Both lamps are equipped with a wick adjustment knob that allowed the flame intensity to be regulated.
The general condition of these lamps is consistent with their age, showing a rich and authentic patina that has developed over time. The brass surfaces display color variations and marks that tell their history and past use. These pieces are not restored and retain their original character.
These lamps are decorative objects with character, perfect for adding a historical touch to an office, a library, or a console. They fit particularly well into industrial, rustic, or classic style interiors, where they can serve as conversation pieces.
