From 1853, we see the appearance of an oil finally fluid, the lamp oil.
This light petroleum oil, obtained after distillation of crude oil between 150 and 300 degrees, is intended for lighting.
It is the end of the oil lamp, and the advent of the kerosene lamp.
It produces a brighter and more regular light than oil lamps, even perfected.
This is explained by the fluidity of kerosene, which rises much more easily in the wick than oil, always too viscous.
The kerosene lamp was therefore the normal lighting from the second half of the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century.
Then the electric lighting spread from 1900, first in the cities, then in the countryside, dethroning the oil lamp.

- Set Of 3 Altar Candlesticks Candle Holder - Bronze - Period: XIXth CenturyLocated in CRÉTEIL, FRA delightful set of three bronze altar candlesticks. Originally, candlesticks usually stood on three legs, topped with a knot and a wick to hold the wax. In the centre of this cup is a spike on which the candle is placed. The candles on top are made of wax, white for festivals, yellow for funeral services or times of penitence. In accordance with traditional practice, the candlesticks are placed on the altar itself or on a tier that is itself placed on the altar. They are framed by a cross which, if possible, matches them. Period : 19th Century Dimensions : Pair: Height: 47.5cm - Width of base: 14.5cm - Diameter of bobèche: 12.5cm Dimensions : Height : 49cm - Base width : 16cm - Wick diameter : 13cm According to custom, the number of candlesticks is two, four or six, depending on the degree of solemnity of the celebrations. A seventh candle is required when the diocesan bishop celebrates a stationary (pontifical) Mass, and even more so when the Pope is Bishop of Rome. The sacred light is first and foremost a symbol of joy and, in ancient times, a sign of respect and honour. Candles should be made of beeswax. Derived from the juice of flowers, the wax represents the flesh of Christ formed from the virginal body of Mary, flesh that will be consumed for us. When lit, the candle has multiple meanings. First of all, it represents Jesus, the light without which we grope in broad daylight. The flame is the sign of Christ's divinity. It also symbolises faith in these mysteries. White candles, made of purified wax, are symbols of joy and gladness, while yellow candles...Category
