Vintage Kerosene Lamp

|

We’ve been fortunate in a lot of ways this summer; no major storms, not hot enough to brown-out the power grid. So maybe a functional kerosene lamp isn’t at the forefront of your consciousness.

But isn’t this a beauty?

Even if you don’t ever fill and light it, this lamp will draw oohs and ahhs where ever it sits.
