Antique Victorian Brass Parlor Student Oil Lamp with Green Shade
$524.00
Antique Victorian Brass Parlor Student Oil Lamp with Green Shade is a beautifully preserved late 19th-century lighting piece featuring its original brass construction, adjustable student lamp design, and an elegant green cased glass shade. Marked with House's Argand Patent – November 18, 1871, this authentic Victorian lamp remains in its original non-electrified condition, making it a remarkable collectible for antique lighting enthusiasts and period home décor.

Condition
The lamp remains in good original antique condition and has not been electrified, retaining its authentic period components. The green cased glass shade is free from chips, cracks, and nicks, with the slightly uneven rim being characteristic of this style of antique shade. The brass finish shows age-related spotting consistent with years of use. The original inner fuel canister is intact with a noticeable dent that does not appear to affect its structural integrity. Offered in estate-found condition with honest antique wear.
Why This Piece Stands Out
This authentic Victorian student lamp combines original construction, an adjustable Argand burner design, and a beautifully preserved green cased glass shade. Its 1871 patent marking, untouched originality, and elegant Victorian styling make it a highly desirable addition to any antique lighting collection or historic interior.
