Kerosene Lamp, Opaline and Brass, 19th Century – Germany
A very beautiful kerosene lamp from the late 19th century. Its base is made of opaline glass, a typical material of the period, blown and turned. Its cheerful designs are hand-painted and, along with the whimsical shape of the base, reflect aesthetic principles. The burner is a round model, a patent introduced by the Berlin company Wild & Wessel in 1865 under the name “Brenner Kosmos” (Brenner means burner in German). This model allowed a flat wick to be transformed into a round one, thus producing more light.
