Description
This antique finger oil lamp dates to circa 1900 and features a distinctive square-body design in richly tinted amethyst glass, its color developed through irradiation of manganese-based glass typical of the period. The glass body retains its original brass burner marked "Queen Anne No. 1." The lamp's squared body, scalloped shoulders, and applied handle reflect a late-Victorian transition toward Art Nouveau elegance. Compact yet architectural in form, it serves as a striking accent for traditional, eclectic, or period-inspired interiors.
The squared silhouette gives this lamp an uncommon architectural presence, blending Victorian practicality with early-1900s artistry.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Design Modified
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Excellent antique condition overall. The amethyst glass is clear and free of chips or cracks. Minor surface wear consistent with age. Brass burner shows patina and retains the legible "Queen Anne No. 1" marking. This piece has been irradiated to produce the beautiful amethyst purple color.
