  • Dress your home with one of these beautiful antique lamps.
  • A kerosene lamp (also known as a paraffin lamp in some countries) is a type of lighting device that uses kerosene as a fuel.
  • Kerosene lamps have a wick or mantle as light source, protected by a glass chimney or globe; lamps may be used on a table, or hand-held lanterns may be used for portable lighting.
  • Like oil lamps, they are useful for lighting without electricity, such as in regions without rural electrification, in electrified areas during power outages, at campsites, and on boats.
  • There are three types of kerosene lamp: flat-wick, central-draft (tubular round wick), and mantle lamp.
  • These lamps were popular from 1882 until shortly after WWII, when rural electrification made them obsolete.
  • These lamps are very decorative and very useful when the electricity goes out.
