Vintage Cut Glass Duplex Paraffin Lamp
This is a beautiful vintage duplex paraffin lamp, featuring a clear, intricately cut glass reservoir and a brass base. The duplex design incorporates a central wick and an outer glass chimney to enhance the flame and provide a brighter, more efficient light source. The lamp’s construction suggests a Victorian-era aesthetic, with attention to detail in both the glasswork and the metal components.
