Elegant Brass Oil Lamp with Brass Shade – L & B Lempereur Bernard (Belgium), Featuring Unique Burner Design
This stunning decorative oil lamp from L & B Lempereur Bernard, a renowned Belgian manufacturer, is crafted entirely from brass and includes a matching brass shade. The lamp is richly marked in multiple places, similar to the famous Miller oil lamps, and shares several design features with them.
The burner resembles the Matador style, producing a large, rounded flame for exceptional brightness. The lamp’s construction is particularly interesting: the base is open and runs through the reservoir up to the burner, allowing for extra oxygen supply, which enhances combustion and light output.
A beautiful piece for any oil lamp collection or as a striking decorative object. Its brass finish also makes it a perfect fit for industrial-style interiors.
Please note: The shade holder may not be entirely original. A chimney fits, but removing it can be tricky due to a previously repaired leg. The holder is slightly wobbly but can be straightened easily.
Specifications:
- Height (including chimney): 58 cm
- Diameter at widest point: 27 cm
- Estimated production: 1950s
- Equipped with a wick and only used with pure kerosene
An eye-catching piece that combines functionality, history, and elegance.
