This beautiful lamp is not easy to describe and that is because there are so many rare and unique features just begging to be mentioned. First of all this is an ALADDIN table lamp; Aladdin can be found in raised relief on the base. There is a fancy Queen Ann oil burner made by B&P and the lamp body itself serves as the oil font. A Small intricate, bouquet of flowers is hand painted on both sides of the lamp and even though this lamp is an antique, it remains in wonderful, usable condition.
To makes this lovely old oil lamp even more special, it is topped off by a fabulous antique 10 inch art glass shade that features iridescent marigold carnival glass. The lamp stands 16 inches tall from the bottom to the lower edge of the oil burner and when you add the shade the whole piece stands a little over two feet tall.
I think I have done all I can to describe this gorgeous old lamp and if you will look through the photos, I am sure you'll see why I said this incredible old Aladdin oil lamp is not an easy piece to describe.
Oh yes, please note the lines that at first look like hairline cracks shown in the photo of the lamp base. These are not cracks, they are some sort of molding imperfection. They do not go through the glass and kind of remind me of the mark one makes when removing a brush bristle from partially dried paint.
