For your consideration a pair of vintage lamps made of converted 19th-Century Thilorier hydrostatic lamps from Paris. The metal lamps feature urn form and ornate brass scrolled mounts, raised on a plinth, and ending in a square base. The bases feature plaques inscribed with the patent number and Paris address of the lamp maker in French.
Thilorier's Hydrostatic Lamp, invented in the early 19th century by French physicist and engineer François-Antoine Thilorier, was a marvel of its time. It utilized a unique and ingenious principle to produce a bright and steady light, far surpassing the flickering flames of traditional oil lamps. In recent years, some antique Thilorier lamps have been converted to electric lamps. This modification involves replacing the oil burner with an electric light socket, preserving the lamp's elegant design while offering a more practical and convenient lighting solution.
