Hi all, Here is a gravity alcohol lyre pendant lamp, from Louis Runge, Berlin. I have had this lamp for many years but it has been missing a complete burner. With a trade with French (@Titoo ) lamp fiend I was able to get a suitable Runge burner and now the lamp with some additions has been complete. I did a lighting test and the lamp works great. I can't find the exact match in the 1907 and 1908 Runge catalogues I have access to, but from a pamphlet paper it is very similar to a "Runge Lyra Nr. 500". This lamp is probably made around 1910. The Runge burner is said to give a light output of 100CP. This is my third Runge hanging lamp; the other two you can see here ..Ca. 1905 Louis Runge gravity pressure hanging lamp and here.. 1905-1910 Louis Runge Lyra nr.337 gravity lamp /Conny
Dear Conny, I bring you all my congratulations for this superb restoration of your Louis Runge lyre. My modest contribution will have helped you to revive this superb lamp. As far as possible, it is important to contribute to the survival of a heritage. For my part, I thank you for having given me this sublime W & W wick burner with its crystal chimney which is now ready to present itself in its most beautiful form. Best regards, Titoo.
