A LOVELY ITEM AND FROM MY PARTNERS COLLECTION OF MIDDLE EASTERN ANTIQUE ITEMS THAT SHE HAS COLLECTED OVER 30 YEARS OF HER LIFE IN THE ANTIQUE ISLAMIC ART WORLD. SINCE THEN THIS LOVELY TURQUOISE GLASS AND GOLD ENAMEL DECORATED MOSQUE OIL LAMP HAS BEEN SAT IN A CABINET OF HIGHER END ISLAMIC ANTIQUE ITEMS IN MY PARTNERS OWN COLLECTION, SHE NOW WISHED TO SELL IT DUE TO A LARGE VETS BILL AND WILL CONSIDER ANY SERIOUS BUT NOT SILLY OFFER PRICE FOR IT. I HAVE TRIED AS HARD AS IS POSSIBLE WITH MY LIMITED PHOTOGRAPHIC SKILLS TO SHOW THIS BEAUTIFUL OBJECT BUT IN THE HAND IT IS MUCH BETTER THAN MY PICS CAN SHOW.

THE LAMP HAS A DECORATION'AL STYLE WHICH SHOWS QURANIC SCRIPT IN GOLD GILT ENAMEL OR LACQUER WHICH IS LIKELY A PRAYER OR VERSE, THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF WEAR TO ONE AREA OF THE GOLD GILT SCRIPT WRITING AND MANY YEARS AGO IT WAS SUGGESTED BY AN AUCTIONEER VALUER THAT THIS WAS LIKELY CAUSED BY OIL OR HEAT WHILST THE ITEM WAS IN USE, I KNOW LITTLE ABOUT SUCH LAMPS BUT MY PARTNER INFORMED ME THAT THE AUCTIONEER EXPERT TOLD HER THAT THE LAMP WOULD HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED IN A MOSQUE ABOVE HEAD HEIGHT BY 3 CHAINS WHILE IN USE. THE PONTAL MARK ON THE BASE OF THE LAMP IS TYPICAL OF AN OLDER HAND MADE PIECE AND WAS FREE BLOWN RATHER THAN MADE IN A MOULD, THE SUGGESTED AGE OF THE LAMP TO BE SAFE IS 19THC C1800 - C1850 BUT IT COULD BE AT LEAST 100 YEARS OLDER AS SUGGESTED BY THE AUCTIONEER WHO VALUED IT MANY YEARS AGO. THE LAMP WAS FOUND IN A BATCH OF GOODS THAT MY PARTNER BOUGHT MANY YEARS AGO FROM A LARGE COUNTRY HOUSE IN DORSET UK AND HAD ACCORDING TO ITS PREVIOUS OWNER BEEN IN THE FAMILY AS A DECORATION'AL OBJECT IN ONE OF THE UPSTAIRS WINDOWS, IT HAS BEEN WASHED WITH ONLY WASHING UP LIQUID AND WARM WATER ONCE DURING THE TIME MY PARTNER HAS OWNED IT TO REMOVE THE ORIGINAL DIRT AND GRIMY OIL THAT WAS PRESENT, SINCE THEN THE OCCASIONAL DUSTING OVER WITH A DUSTER IS THE ONLY CLEANING IT HAS HAD. THERE IS LITTLE ELSE I CAN ADD OTHER THAN THAT IN THE HAND AND THE CLEAR LIGHT OF DAY THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF BUBBLES APPARENT RIGHT THROUGH THIS PIECE AND IT IS A VERY VERY BEAUTIFULLY MADE ITEM, ANY REAL KNOWLEDGEABLE COLLECTOR WILL BE ABLE TO SEE CLEARLY THE AGE IN THIS PIECE.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED DO MAKE AN OFFER AS NO SENSIBLE OFFER WILL BE TURNED DOWN. SIZE IS HEIGHT 4-3/4 INS, WIDTH 4 INS AT WIDEST POINT.
