Description :

Charming antique-style miniature figural oil lamp featuring a detailed boy standing on a square black base supporting an amber glass font with a white milk glass shade. The lamp is fitted with a brass burner marked "The Bell", a well-known style of antique oil lamp burner, and retains its decorative chimney shade. The figural base adds Victorian charm, making this an excellent accent for a bookshelf, curio cabinet, dollhouse display, or collector of miniature lighting. A delightful decorative piece with timeless appeal.

Measurements:
Approx. 12" H × 5" W × 5" D

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Milk glass shade is free of obvious cracks or chips. Amber glass font is clean with light age-related wear. Figural base displays an attractive aged patina. Brass burner is marked "The Bell" and shows expected oxidation consistent with age. Untested as an oil lamp. Please review photos for complete condition details.

Historical Note:
Miniature figural oil lamps became popular during the late Victorian era as decorative mantel and parlor accents. Many later reproductions faithfully copied 19th-century designs using brass burners such as The Bell style, paired with milk glass shades and figural bases inspired by classical and pastoral themes.

Est. Value:
100-225
