Offered is a fine, period Solar lamp, which dates from 1840-1850. The lamp itself is unmarked, but has a bronze Corinthian column and Capitol on a black marble base. The lamp has been rewired, though likely was converted to use a standard #2 Queen Ann burner in the later Victorian era. Consequently, the old #2 burner does not accept a period chimney, so a suitable one for the burner is used. It's worth noting that the burner was electrified in a very stable manner, and works very well.

The period Solar shade is in excellent, original condition. No chips , cracks or alterations. I do see a slight purplish tinge, which is likely due to exposure to sunlight over the last 150 years. Overall, it's not distracting in any way.

Was wired a long while ago with what appears to be 20 gauge cloth covered wire, and a tun knob switch in the lower back. The wire does not appear hard, and it works perfectly, but please do get it checked out if desired. The marble base may have a crack in the corner at the back.

Measures:
26-3/4" to the top of the chimney
15-1/8" to the shade ring
5" square at the base

The shade is 9"W, 8-1/4"H, and has a 6" fitter
