About the Item

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Originally this lamp was an oil lamp, over time the mechanism with the wick has been modified, it was then electrified to make it more comfortable and modern; it is prepared for the use of a lampshade, which is not supplied, but that of the photo can be requested with a surcharge; the body, completely smooth, is in an opaline glass of intense orange color, the very massive base is a fusion of gilded brass and finished with a beaded edge; produced in France in 1880. The opaline is slightly translucent glass, pacified with phosphates and chlorides of sodium and calcium with the addition of tin and talcum oxides, thus obtaining various shades of colors from pastel to milk-white, opaline glass is much less dense and opaque than milky glass (very similar to porcelain), the opaline in the strict sense is a French product that was born at the end of the 18th-beginning of the 19th century in imitation of the Murano and German semi-opaque glasses of the 17th century and which has its moment of maximum splendor from 1820 to 1870 thanks to the achievements of the French factories ( Baccarat, Saint Louis and Choisy-le-Roy); from 800 onwards, the opaline spread all-over the world with the handicraft production of everyday objects. France, from ancient times to Modern Times, is recognized as a producer of the best quality opaline glass. Measures: H.cm., 43 D., cm. 15. Warning: The electrical system is new but the wiring is European, so the compatibility of the voltage in the other States must always be checked by an electrician before use. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.
