More Information

There is no chimney with this lot. The shade has a slither chip on the inside upper rim and a small one in a similar position on the opposite side (see images). The burner appears to be in good order although the wicks don't rise and fall currently. There is surface grime around the cutting on the tank. We cannot see any chips or cracks and the tank is not drilled. No chips or cracks to the bulbous base have been found. Wear to the gilt on the brass base. The lamp is weighted with a cast iron disc to the underside, which is bolted through the middle.
