Vintage Petroleum Lamp – Table Model in Silver-Plated Metal (circa 1950–1970)

This freestanding metal petroleum lamp is a stylish table model from the second half of the 20th century. The lamp combines functional industrial design with a classic appearance and is executed in silver-plated metal.

The lamp features a wide conical base, a cylindrical reservoir, and a traditional wick burner with an adjustment knob. The perforated burner cap provides ventilation and gives it a characteristic look. On the underside, there is an original inspection sticker referring to the Royal Decree of April 4, 1974 (lead-free), as well as a stamped maker’s mark.

The presence of this sticker clearly indicates that the object is not a 19th-century lamp, but a well-made utilitarian piece from the 1950s–1970s, which ensures transparency and reliability for both collectors and users.
