Here is one of sweetest little oil lamps that I have ever laid eyes on Â- and IÂ'm sure if you are looking at these pictures right now you totally agree with me. It is made of a white opalescent glass with a pale putty satiny color finish. It is all hand painted and hand enameled. The birds appear to be barn swallows Â- on the shade and on the base. On the reverse side of the base and the shade there is another scene of flowers and branches that are crawling over a trellises or arbor if you will. The burner is marked Â- The Trenton Jr. Patent applied for and the original chimney is also marked Trenton Jr. Germany. It has a repousse brass font and a gilded cast iron base. There is only a minute amount of gold gilding on the base. I donÂ't know for sure who made this lamp Â- when you first look at the lamp Wavecrest comes to mind. It is not marked and I have never had another one like it. My guess would be Wavecrest or New England Glass Co. It appears to me to be of a totally New England subject. It is basically in perfect condition except for a small hair line on the base on top of one sort of blown out section Â- you canÂ't see it but you can feel it. The design of the lamp is such that the hair line will not show up unless it is tilted in the light a certain way. The shade is fantastic as well Â- it looks a little bit dirty and since I donÂ't know how to clean it I will just leave it alone. This lamp is as precious as can be, and authentic as can be - dating from the 19th century. It measures 12 ¾Â" high to the top of the chimney and it has an approx. overall diameter of 7Â". Striving For Excellence It isnÂ't brilliance or just getting the breaks, It is consistent attention to & honest respect for the Customer. Click for Price @ GoAntiques.com
