Extremly Rare late 18th century Blown Glass

Lace Maker's Lamp

Description: Extremely Rare And Hard To Find Late 18th Century Blown Glass Lace Maker’s Lamp.

Standing 5 1/4" tall, this lamp was filled with water and placed between the candle and the lace pillow

in order to magnify and intensify the light for the fine lace work. A discussion of lace maker’s lamps with illustrations

is found on pp251-256 of Gertrude Whiting’s* OLD TIME TOOLS & TOYS OF NEEDLEWORK*.

An example virtually identical to this one is shown on page 26

of Bridget McConnel’s *The Story Of Antique Needlework Tools*.

This example is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or other damage.
