Silver Plate Banquet Lamp
This English silver plate banquet lamp certainly makes an impression.
The large, faceted clear glass font has a lovely amethyst tint to it that compliments the classical Corinthian style stand beautifully.
The blue, etched tulip shade further adds to the elegance of this silver plate banquet lamp.
It is hard to be certain of the age of this lamp but we feel it is 20th century rather than pre 1900.
Condition
Overall, this beautiful silver plate banquet lamp is in very good condition.
There is one air bubble within the glass of the font and a couple of tiny fleabites on the lower edge that can be felt rather than seen.
There is some wear to the plating on the stand but it is mostly intact. The plating on the burner and shade holder also show signs of wear.
The burner itself is in good working order with the thumb wheels turning easily. It is fitted with a new chimney and new wicks will be fitted prior to sale.
The lovely etched blue shade is a reproduction but we can’t be sure of its age. Shades like these have been reproduced for many years. We can say however, that it is in excellent condition without any chips, cracks or damage of any kind.
We are sure this lovely banquet oil lamp will be a wonderful addition to your home or your collection.
