Book Description

Publication Date: 19 May 2008 | Series: Shire Discovering

This book traces the evolution of oil lighting and places on record details of the many fine lamps which served our forebears so well. A great many of these lamps survive today, though much of the knowledge about them has disappeared. Owing to the interest in Victoriana, they now appear in antique shops at prices that would have been considered fantastic not so long ago. Whether the reader is a collector, a seller of lamps or is just interested in this fascinating subject, this book will help to fill some of the gaps in his knowledge of oil lighting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oil Lamps 30 Jan 2009

By Tim Stewart

Amazon Verified Purchase

Yes, a good taster. Concise and a good range of lamps covered. Getting anything more detailed, would cost significantly more!

2.0 out of 5 stars oil lamps 14 Sep 2010

By R. Field - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase

A little disappointed, I was expecting a book that covered oil lamps of the 18th and 19th centuries in some detail, and what I got was a very thin overview of oillamps through the ages. Good info, but it did not add to my overall knowledge of the topic.

This was a very informative book. For a small book it's definitely worth getting for all the info included. Thanks
