Vintage Oil Burning Lamp

Discover the nostalgia of the past with our Home Sweet Home Oil Lamp. This traditional lamp was commonly used in rural America during the late 1800's before electricity was widely available. Its charm is evident, whether lit or not. This clear glass lamp is suitable for most any setting.

This kerosene style, oil lamp is clear glass. The beautiful, hand blown base has an embossed design. It is a historic glass pattern known as "princess feather".  A bulbous, crimped top lamp chimney displays Home Sweet Home across the middle. The burner is brass-plated with a turn switch to raise and lower the cotton wick.

Oil Lamp Guide

• Only use "lamp oil" as a fuel source. Other oil types can cause fires and/or damage oil burners.
• Leave at least a ½ inch of head-space when filling up your oil lamp.
• Keep lamp reservoir half full so that wick stays properly saturated
• Oil lamps burn approximately ½ ounce of lamp oil per hour.
• Trim off charred edge of wick after every couple uses. If charred residue is not kept trimmed, wick will likely smoke and provide dim light.
• Replace lamp chimney once lamp is lit to protect flame from drafts.
• Caution: A burning oil lamp should not be left unattended. Lamps should be placed out of the reach of children.
