Brass Pigeon Oil Lamp – French Vintage Vintners Collectible Wine Cellar Lamp

This is a beautiful French vintage brass Pigeon oil lamp, traditionally used by vintners (wine makers) in wine cellars where electric lighting wasn’t available. Made by the original makers, Pigeon, this classic handheld brass lamp is in full working order with some small bumps as expected from a vintage piece: it has been polished to a rich, warm finish — perfect for display or functional use..

Designed as a safe, practical lamp, the reservoir is made to help prevent spills even if tipped, making it ideal for rustic interiors, boats, barges, cellars, studies or collectors of French lighting. The original French safety engraving, side winding mechanism and compact size all add to its authentic character.
