The ‘metal’ parts of the lamp i.e. the base, column and burner are all of silver plated metal (brass?).
The collar, mounted just above the glass well is marked ‘Hinks & Son’s Patent’.
The burner and shade holder are both marked for ‘Evered & Co. Ltd. Patnet”,
~ Dimensions ~
The base measures 16cm (6 ¼ inches) square.
The total height of the lamp is 90cm (35 ½ inches).
It weighs 5.73 Kg.
~Condition ~
The silver plating to both the column, base and burner/shade holder has some wear in parts revealing a brassy colour underneath.
The glass chimney is intact with no cracks or chips. The shade has a couple of small marks but is otherwise undamaged. The well has a
couple of flea bite chips but these are only visible upon very close inspection.
The top half of the lamp sits at a very slight angle.
Overall the piece is in a nice condition and is a beautiful item that presents very well.
