Antique brass oil lamp and attached accessories. Made 19th century, almost certainly from England.

Measures a little under 22 inches high.

Round base with candlestick form stem with two urn-shaped knopfs. Above this is the bowl of the lamp with two spouts on one side and a caste hand holding a snake on the other, presumed to stabilise the lamp when being transported from place to place. Above the lid is a triangular disk. Brass chains are suspended from 2 corners of the disk, which can be moved up and down. The lamp accessories hang from these chains: a long stick-like item and a snuffer. The long, straight pole to the handle is interrupted by a beautiful tulip shaped knopf in the middle. The handle is in the form of a snake with it's tail in it's mouth, being held by another caste hand.
