The oil lamp with a glass chimney, which gave a brighter yellow flame, was the main source of light in Victorian homes. They varied in design. This one is made from milky glass and brass. |
Roll over this photo to switch between the oil lamp in the museum's collection and a photo of a hall at Tiverton Work-house, lit by oil lamp, ready for a New Year's celebration.
