Rare Late 18th Early 19th Century Dutch Brass Whale Oil Lamp. Nice example of the rarer Repousse type. Does have the lower spout missing but even a novice metalworker could replace the missing one with simple sheet brass and a little soldering, which is all it would have been in the first place. Interesting and underated these things as they are quite ingenious being able to free stand and be hung up and the flattened off back to the base ensures the lighted wick is kept away from the wall as far as possible. Dia of abase approx 11.5cm. Very good See photos.

This antique vintage pewter and glass whale oil lamp clock is a rare and unique piece. Featuring a stunning fluted design with a capsule-shaped shade, it stands 13 inches tall and measures 5 1/4 inches wide. The polished pewter base complements the clear glass tube vessel, which includes a candleholder design and numbered markings on the side to indicate time as the oil burns. Designed in a colonial style, this oil-powered lamp is a true collector’s item. While the glass bobble at the top is unfortunately broken, the capsule and font remain fully intact. The glass font can be unscrewed for easy refilling, adding to its functionality and charm.
