Provenance:
From the Estate of Christopher Sheppard
An identical lamp is illustrated by W.A.Thorpe, A History of English and Irish Glass (1929), pl.VIII, fig.2 with the suggestion it may have been made in England by French workmen. It is more likely, however, that this is a product of Liege.
The French oil lamp has a fine crack through the bottom handle terminal, not mentioned in the catalogue.
