Gas lamp stand light

Gas lamps were first introduced in the early Meiji period, but in the Taisho period they were replaced by more convenient oil lamps and electric lights. However, there was still demand for them, albeit at a low level, until around the 1950s.

This item is likely a gas lamp that was used in the early Showa period, before electricity became a stable source. The upper part of the shade is frosted glass. The curved pipe at the top of the stand is made of brass, and the mint-colored part is made of iron. There are still many hanging gas lamps left, but tabletop stand-type lamps are extremely rare.

There are small scratches, tarnish, and cracks in the brass pipe, but fortunately the glass shade remains intact. The bulb used is an E-11, and to replace it, simply unscrew and remove the glass shade. The socket, cord, and plug are new and include an on/off switch . Bulb not included.
