Antique Brass Paraffin Lamp ('s)
Antique Brass Parafin Lamp converted to electricity in the 's. It has the original White Opaque Glass Shade. It and the other one were originally used by my family as a paraffin lamps before the first world war. It would be wise owing to the age of the lamp to update the wiring, which is simply done. The original wire was simply connected to the bulb fitting and fastened to the metal frame along and up to the ceiling. It would be a question of fitting a new wire where the old one at present is and checking/fitting the old lamp fittings or replacing to similar new lamp fittings. If the purchaser wished to remove the wiring and electric fittings, it would be simply done by taking them off the lamp. It might be possible with help from an artisan expert to hunt down some authentic/original clear glass chimneys! Two available, similar but not a complete match. Quite happy to sell singly. Read more
