    Hi all,

    An example of the large Sinombra oil lamp with Philips burner, bronze base and column with mercury amalgam gilding.
    This lamp dates from the Charles Dix period, 1820/1830.
    I commissioned a friend in February 2025 to research and restore this lamp to diversify and enrich my collection.
    I thank him again for his talented work.
    I use liquid paraffin oil and original wicks.
    It works wonderfully well.
    Its light is soft and soothing, with no odor.

    Regards,
    Titoo.
