A 19th century Victorian brass student oil lamp converted to electricity.
 
The lamp has a cast iron weighted base with a baluster shape at the bottom of the lamp support.
 
The lamp and what would have been the oil reservoir can be adjusted in height using a decorative screw.
 
The lamp has its original opaque glass shade that rests in a brass ring and the top of the lamp support is fitted with a ring carrying handle.
 
The brass has been professionally polished and an electric lamp replaces the wick.
 
The lamp is in good condition and has been recently re-wired and tested. (Circa 1860)
