Description

Antique Victorian "Gone with the Wind" Oil Lamp – Edward Miller Meteor Chimney

This stunning Victorian-era Gone with the Wind (GWTW) oil lamp features a hand-painted floral glass shade and matching base, adorned with delicate pink roses against a green-to-white gradient. The chimney is marked "METEOR", a designation attributed to Edward Miller, a renowned lamp perfectionist of the 19th century. With its ornate brass burner, decorative cast metal footed base, and double-sided design, this lamp embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of the late 1800s.

Originally designed for kerosene illumination, this lamp has been electrified for modern functionality, ensuring both vintage charm and everyday usability. A note accompanying this piece indicates it was given as a wedding gift in 1873, adding a unique historical touch.

Condition:

This lamp is in good antique condition, with expected signs of use. The glass globe has some rough areas on the bottom, though these are not visible when the lamp is assembled. The brass elements display an aged patina, reflecting its 19th-century origins. The lamp has been tested and functions properly in its electrified state.

A timeless piece of Victorian lighting history, this Gone with the Wind lamp is a perfect addition for collectors, period décor enthusiasts, or those seeking a touch of antique elegance.
