This was one of the belongings of my great Aunt Lillian. She was a shrewed old gal that seemed to be at least 190 years old when I was a kid. She was way ahead of her her time..passionate marriages, successful divorces and an eye for stock and valuable goods. Victorian "Venus" Finger Oil Lamp W/ Pie Crust Chimney Another in the series of Victorian and Antique lamps I am currently listing again in very good condition. I did find a very small chip (about the size of a common pin head) in the curve of the finger handle, almost impossible for my amateur skills to photograph. I thought it might well be a manufacture flaw, but I'll say chip to be on the safe side. T is no other damage to the piece. The finger lamp measures 11-1/4 inches tall including the beautifully Pie Crust scalloped chimney that rests upon a four pronged "Venus" burner by E. M. Miller Co. A very nice complete lamp for your collection. Please take a moment to stop in my and browse other antique, Vintage and Collectible pieces currently listed.
