Old Lamps & Things is fortunate to have a whale oil lantern in our inventory. These lanterns were popular from the late 1700s to the mid-1800s, so fewer and fewer are available in today’s market. Ours has not been converted to electric, and the burner has the standard double wick. The font slides out of the lantern for easy refilling. One glass panel was missing, so we replaced it. The rest of the lamp is original. What a great piece for the whale oil lamp collectors out there — or for people who just like good quality from the olden days!

Table Lamp – Good As New After Restoration

/in , /by

We bought this shade knowing that the filigree overlay was missing on one of the panels.  We removed the glass panels, made a mold using one of the in-tact panels, filled the mold, let it set, and then shaped it to fit properly into the existing overlay. Then we soldered it in place, color matched to the surrounding metal, and put the glass back in place. So now we are ready to send this good as new table lamp off to live again.
