Questions About Kerosene Oil Lamp
  • Are kerosene lamps safe to use indoors?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    The safest way to burn a kerosene lamp is outdoors, but if you do want to use one inside, opt for K-1 kerosene in an indoor-specific lamp. Do not burn red kerosene in an indoor lamp because the fumes from the red dye can be toxic to inhale.
  • What is a whale oil lamp?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    A whale oil lamp is a lamp that uses whale oil for fuel. Whale oil lamps were largely made from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Antique whale oil lamps are collectibles today and an older specimen will be a striking addition to your mantel or display cabinet.

  • How do I tell if an oil lamp is antique?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    There are a few key things to look for to identify an antique oil lamp. First check for a patent number anywhere on your lamp. Use a black light to inspect whether your lamp’s hardware is secured with glue, which fluoresces and would indicate a contemporary lamp. Antique lamps use plaster to attach hardware and fill gaps. An antique oil lamp may have hand-blown glass. Shop a range of professionally authenticated antique oil lamps on 1stDibs.
  • How does a Roman oil lamp work?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    Roman oil lamps are simply containers filled with oil, in which a wick made up of cloth or rope rests on one end. The other end of the wick comes in contact with the air. When the wick is lit, the oil in it burns and gives out light.
  • How do you use a brass oil lamp?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    How you use a brass oil lamp may vary based on the design of the piece. However, generally, you fill the lamp with vegetable, sesame or similar plant-based oil. Use tweezers to raise and lower the wick and trim away burned ends with scissors. Then, use a match to light the lamp. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of oil lamps.
  • Are oil lamps still used?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, oil lamps are still used today. However, most people utilize oil lamps while camping or during power outages in the U.S. It is uncommon for Americans to light their homes only with oil lamps. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of antique oil lamps.
  • How do I use a hanging oil lamp?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To use a hanging oil lamp, remove the oil font from the base and fill it three-quarters of the way with clear lamp oil. Return the font and close the base. Twist the knob to raise the wick until it is a little less than 0.25 inches above the burner. Light with a match or lighter. After extinguishing and allowing time for cooling, trim the burned end off of the wick. You'll find a collection of hanging oil lamps on 1stDibs.
  • When did they start using oil lamps?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    People began using early versions of oil lamps for spiritual purposes during ancient times. References to oil-burning lamps are found in both the Torah and the Bible. Oil lamps became popular for everyday use lighting homes and businesses in the late 19th century with the advent of the kerosene lamp. Shop a selection of antique oil lamps on 1stDibs.
