Sold
Ships worldwide from the Netherlands, securely packaged for safe delivery.

Miner's lamp from around 1900, made by Hubert Joris of Belgium, in well-preserved condition with original Val St. Lambert D.S.4 glass.

Full working order: the wick holder moves up and down smoothly. Close to New Old Stock condition, no signs of heavy use. Two small holes in the top where a plate would have been mounted. It was lit at some point, but likely never used underground.

According to various sources, this is a Master Hewer's Lamp (Meesterhouwerslamp) by Hubert Joris, also known as Joris Lampe. These lamps are similar in style and construction to Wolf miner's lamps.

Usable as an oil lamp, or displayed decoratively. Also of interest kept unused for a collection.

No maker's marks on the lamp; the glass is clearly stamped Val St. Lambert D.S.4.

Height (excluding hanger): 30 cm
Estimated production date: 1900–1910
