    Hi all,

    Here is a small early 19th-century painted sheet metal student lamp from the Carli firm in Lyon, France.
    This lamp, in perfect condition, was given to me by a friend who had beautifully restored it.
    It works perfectly with rapeseed oil and original 10" wicks.
    You can find another copy in the book "The Other Century of Enlightenment" by M. Ara on page 30.

    Regards,
    Titoo.
