Beautiful, Miner’s Lamp – ca. 1900 – With Val St. Lambert D.S.4 Glass
Sold
Miner's lamp from around 1900, in well-preserved condition, with a finely shaped tank and its Val St. Lambert D.S.4 glass.
Working order: the wick holder can be raised using the small mechanism at the bottom. Appears to have seen very little use. There are two small holes in the top where a numberplate would originally have been mounted. On the underside there's a square locking mechanism, presumably meant to block the wick movement, currently fixed in place.
According to various sources, this type of lamp is considered a Master Hewer's Lamp (Meesterhouwerslamp), used by mining supervisors or foremen.
Usable as a small oil lamp, or displayed as an antique piece. Of interest for a mining-related or antique lighting collection.
No visible maker's marks. The glass is clearly marked Val St. Lambert D.S.4.
Height (excluding hanger): 30 cm
Estimated production date: 1900–1910
