This style with a long, narrow glass chimney is based on a traditional oil lamp. In the late 1700s and early 1800s whale oil lamps would have been considered a "high tech" lighting solution in contrast with the established use of candles. Whale oil lamps offered more light, created less smoke and  the tallow used in candles created a rather pungent and disagreeable smell when burned.

Dimensions: W: 4.5 in x H: 19.5 in x D: 3.5 in

Authentic Designs is a third generation family business and has been hand crafting heirloom quality lighting in Vermont for over 50 years.

 

  • Materials: All metal parts are made of American sheet copper, brass or terne coated copper. Individual parts start out as sheets of metal on which patterns are laid out, cut, folded, rolled and soldered by hand. When called for in a particular model, wood parts are hand turned of Vermont maple and stained or painted in keeping with the original designs. We make no compromises with either materials or quality.
  • Dimensions: W: 4.5 in x H: 19.5 in x D: 3.5 in
  • Care Instructions:
  • Hand Burnished Copper
  • Copper parts are hand burnished and left uncoated to oxidize and age to a patina similar to an old penny.
  • Terne-Coated Copper
  • A coating of hot-dipped tin alloy is applied to the raw copper sheet at the foundry. When left exposed to the elements its bright new finish will dull down to a mottled gray.
  • Darkened Terne Coated Copper
  • Terne-coated copper is oxidized by hand and then sealed to retain its blackened finish. DO NOT USE METAL POLISH AS IT WILL REMOVE THE PLATING.
  • Hand Burnished Brass
  • Metal Parts are burnished and left uncoated to age naturally. They will darken over time and acquire a black colored patina.
  • Antique Pewter
  • Metal parts are hand-plated with our pewter formula. They will oxidize darken and acquire the patina of mottled, old pewter. DO NOT USE METAL POLISH AS IT WILL REMOVE THE PLATING.
  • Gunmetal
  • Metal parts are plated with our custom blue-black formula.
  • Finger Prints
  • Fingerprints on metal are initially prominent due to accelerated oxidation. Each fixture is assembled by hand and the moisture in the skin darkens the contacted metal rapidly. The drier remaining portions of exposed metal will darken more slowly. Both areas will blend as they age and acquire a patina.
    • Every piece is handmade to order here in our Vermont workshops. This fixture has a lead time of 4-6 weeks. Please note: This does not include shipping times. Every once in a while there can be unforeseen delays and we will keep you informed on any extensions of our lead times.

    Lighting is custom-made and therefore not returnable unless defective, damaged or incorrect. Please review our shipping and returns page for more information. For any questions, please contact shoppe@hadleyjameslighting.com.
