Minature Brass Oil Lamp

Approximately 10 inches high and 3 inches wide

Very Good condition

One of the most popular areas of collecting in American antique lighting is miniature oil lamps.

As in the standard size oil lamps, hundreds of miniature patterns were originally made in many beautiful colors.

There are a few theories concerning the original purpose of the miniature lamp, but many Antique Dealers believe they were used as a nightlight in a child's room. When lit they emit a warm and comforting glow throughout the room.
