Mosque lamp; Syria or Egypt, 19th century. Colorless and partially gilded glass. Measurements: 34 x 25.5 x 25.5 cm. Mosque lamp of colorless glass ornamented with vegetal elements and kufic writing on the entire surface except the perimeter of the lip. The globular body piece has two small handles and a flared neck that opens to a flat profile mouth. Mosque lamps are oil lamps that usually have a large, round body and a narrower neck that widens toward the top, as in this case. They were often made with internal vessels that were filled with oil and a wick to produce light. They are usually made of enameled glass, often with gilding. Some were also made of Islamic pottery, although this was much less efficient for actual illumination. These lamps were usually hung from a circular metal frame and suspended by chains passing through a series of loops on the outside of the body. Circular frames are still used today in many mosques, but with plain or frosted glass lamps for electric lighting. The techniques used are typical of contemporary Islamic glass: the enameled decoration is applied to a pre-fired plain body and the whole is subjected to a second firing. The colored decoration may include verses from the Qur'an, especially the first part of Ayat an-Nur or "Verse of Light" (24:35, see below), inscriptions and heraldic emblems recording the donor, as well as purely decorative motifs.

Estim. 400 - 500 EUR

19th century oil lamp. Bronze. Later electrified. Preserves all the bulbs. Measurements: 146 x 50 x 27,5 cm. This laborious and eclectic oil lamp is made entirely of bronze. It has a circular moulded base on which rests a helicoidal shaft, with a regulating key at the top. From this emerges an intermediate body made up of a turned shaft, a moulded plate and a light body that retains all the bulbs. The bulbs are raised on mythological effigies, resembling sea creatures. A set of chains holds the scissors for cutting the candles and the oil container or replenisher, among other utensils for activating the lamp. It culminates in an upper body designed as a standard, topped at the top with two rampant lions resting on a baroque structure, which forks, with two metal sparks decorated with heraldic motifs in relief hanging from them. A quinque or Calella is a table light with a wick usually powered by oil, of variable luminous intensity, which was the first scientifically designed lamp. It was invented in 1782 by the Swiss physicist Aimé Argand (1855-03) and patented in England in 1784. It was later perfected by the French pharmacist Antoine Arnoult Quinquet (from 1745 to 1803), from which the name is derived. It consists of a wick immersed in a glass, porcelain, metal, etc., tank at the bottom and fitted with a vertical glass tube at the top of the tank. The Argand burner is located between the tank and the glass tube, and consists of a cylindrical wick between two concentric metal tubes. The inner tube provides a passage through which air rises through the centre to maintain combustion on the inner surface of the cylindrical flame rather than on the outer surface. The burner has an adjustment mechanism by means of a wheel which allows more or less ble to be drawn on the outside of the metal tubes, resulting in a larger or smaller flame and, therefore, greater or lesser luminous intensity. The glass tube acts as a chimney and allows air to enter through its lower part, creating a current of air inside which maintains the combustion of the flame and allows the fuel to burn more completely. It also generally has an external decorative flame.
