Vintage Miniature Oil Lanterns Pair 5" Brass & Copper-Toned Metal Glass Chimneys
Add old-fashioned character to your collection with this pair of vintage miniature oil lanterns. These small hurricane-style lamps feature warm brass and copper-toned metal finishes, rounded reservoirs, and clear glass chimneys that reveal the wicks inside.
Each lantern includes a tall wire carrying handle, a pierced metal chimney holder, and a side wick-adjustment wheel. Their compact proportions echo the appearance of traditional kerosene and oil lamps, making them appealing pieces for collectors of miniature lighting and vintage decorative metalware.
Measuring approximately 5 inches tall overall, including the raised handle, and 2.75 inches wide each, the pair fits neatly on a mantel, bookshelf, or curio shelf. Display them together for a coordinated accent in rustic, farmhouse, or country-inspired décor.
The metal surfaces show age-related patina and finish wear, giving each lantern an individual vintage appearance. The exact metal composition, maker, production date, and country of manufacture are unknown.
This listing includes both lanterns pictured. They have not been tested for operation, fuel compatibility, or leak resistance and are offered as decorative collectibles.
