Lamp (2) - Bronze, Metal, Brass - miners' lamps

Beautiful pair of two historic mining lamps that beautifully illustrate the evolution of underground lighting in mining. A splendid set for both the collector of industrial archaeology and the enthusiast of unique interior decoration. 1. Classic safety lamp (Left): An iconic model safety lamp, crafted in brass and metal. This lamp is fitted with a metal plaque bearing the number 12. The lamp has in the past been expertly modified so that it can safely burn a tealight/candlestick now. This makes it a unique and atmospheric focal point for the living room, with the robust look of yesteryear. 2. Electric miner's lamp (Right): A heavy, authentic electric hand lamp from the early 20th century (ca. 1920-1940). This model has a heavy cylindrical housing for the battery and a metal protective cage around the original glass window with the early filament lamp. Equipped with a brass identification plate bearing the number 644. Beautiful, unspoiled original condition with a very nicely lived patina. Condition: In good, used vintage condition with a wonderful authentic patina and normal signs of aging that contribute to the industrial character. See the photos for an accurate impression of the details and the state.

Estimate:£20.02
