Northern Europe, United Kingdom, England, Victorian Era, ca. mid-19th to early 20th century CE. A charming pair of glass apothecary jars converted into lamps, each presenting a tall, cylindrical form capped by a brass neck that extends upward to house the sockets for a pair of 250-watt light bulbs, all sitting upon a brass, pedestal base. Enveloped in a translucent shade of royal blue, the jars are both skillfully painted with a gilt, shield-shaped frame surrounded by floral and vegetal motifs in hues of scarlet, cobalt, emerald, white, and beige. A wheel-like switch can be seen at the top of each jar, likely intended for turning on and off the gas when these were oil lamps. Petite pinecone finials crown both lighting fixtures. Size: 7" W x 30.8" H (17.8 cm x 78.2 cm)

Provenance: private Evergreen, Colorado, USA collection; ex-private Denver, Colorado, USA, collection, acquired 1960 to 2000

Larger lamp does not function and has both light sockets replaced. More petite lamp is intact. Both are excellent with nice remains of gilding and paint.
