Antique Electrified Petroleum Hanging Lamp | North German Bronze & Porcelain with Opaline Shade, Ship & Lyre Motifs

Say hello to a lamp with a seafarer's soul. This stately petroleum hanging lamp sailed out of North Germany and has been gently coaxed into the modern age, fully electrified so it can light your evenings without a whiff of paraffin. The deep bronze pedestal rises into a creamy white porcelain reservoir, while two openwork side arms parade their charming ship and lyre motifs, a little nod to maritime romance and music in equal measure. Crowning it all is a luminous opaline glass shade that glows the most flattering shade of warm amber when lit. It is the sort of piece that makes a room feel instantly lived in and quietly grand.

Original cable and switch remain in place, restored and ready to be plugged in and adored.

Styling & Collectors Inspiration

This North German charmer loves company with character. Pair it beside our 1920s French Art Déco Bronze Lamp with Pâte de Verre Tulip Shades for a duet of bronze and glow, or let it converse with the Unique Jugendstil Hanging Lamp with Green Beads for a layered, old-world lighting scheme. Collectors of warm-toned glass will adore setting it near our French Yellow Mushroom-Shaped Glass Table Lamp from a Loire Chateau, while the bronze base sings alongside the Exquisite French Art Nouveau Table Lamp.
