Discovering Oil Lamps by Cecil A Meadows
This book traces the evolution of oil lighting and places on record details of the many fine lamps which served our forebears so well. A great many of these lamps survive today, though much of the knowledge about them has disappeared. Owing to the interest in Victoriana, they now appear in antique shops at prices that would have been considered fantastic not so long ago. Whether the reader is a collector, a seller of lamps or is just interested in this fascinating subject, this book will help to fill some of the gaps in his knowledge of oil lighting.
Cecil Meadows was apprenticed to the ironmongery trade in the 1920s when there was still a demand for oil lamps in rural East Anglia. He built up a considerable collection of his own and gave many talks and lectures on the subject. He is also the author of ‘The Victorian Ironmonger’.
