He we have this fine example of a French "La Parisienne" ships oil lamp. This example dates from the late 19th century and is the more scarce chromed example. This company prided itself on their "security non-explosive" oil lamps which is just as well when at sea!! This example is in excellent condition with some service wear from polishing, its complete even down to the "wick cap" which is the first thing to go missing. A nice rare item for your collection.
