A pair of antique oil or paraffin lamps of differing forms, comprising a large hooded lamp and a smaller portable table lamp. The larger lamp is of a substantial industrial or maritime style, featuring a heavy flared base and a large, integral metal hood-shaped reflector designed to direct light. It is fitted with a tall, slender glass chimney and a traditional burner mechanism. The smaller lamp, often referred to as a finger or night lamp, consists of a wide, shallow base and a classic bulbous glass chimney. Both lamps are manufactured from a metal alloy with a significant surface patina and are fitted with manual burner assemblies. Markings are present on the wick adjustment knobs but are not clearly legible for identification. These are original, non-electric lighting fixtures and remain in their original configuration.
