Silver Oil Lamp - For Wax Seals

Silver Oil Lamp - For Wax Seals

$80.00

Beautifully weighted and silver-plated, this rare antique oil lamp was traditionally used to melt wax for sealing letters—an elegant piece of French desk ritual. With a hinged lid and smooth, rounded form, it feels just as at home on a writing table as it does styled into a tablescape or tucked into a cabinet of vintage silver.

Heavy for its size and beautifully patinated, it no longer functions as a lamp (wick and fuel would need replacement) but remains a striking object of form and history.

Details: 9 cm in diameter / 8 cm tall.

  • As with all vintage and antique items, please look closely at the details in the images. We note breakage or chips if apparent, but the patina which is inherent of age, or wear from 50-100+ years of existence and use -- is assumed for older pieces and is not considered a flaw or defect.

  • This item is sent with DHL if postage paid exceeds $25 which is the minimum fee for DHL. Tracking and shipping updates are available online through the destination country website.

    Small items can be combined in one package and this sometimes provides a savings in shipping as long as they are calculated in the same order invoice.

  • All items that I sell are acquired in France and ship from France. All purchases are packed and shipped with extreme care.  Because I adore everything I sell, I fully describe every item and welcome any questions about dimensions, condition or origin. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Every item in the shop has a detailed description and images and dimensions if applicable, along with a statement of condition (if vintage or antique) and use instructions (home goods).
