Besides being decorative, the goods below
are functional too. Our hanging oil lamps are a unique
way to provide light, and come in 4 colors to
illuminate any tent or home. Pillows make you and your
guests comfortable, no matter the size, and have a great
mid-eastern look.
Contrary
to popular belief, in the ancient world, the burning of oil for light was far more common than wax candles, and most every culture had its equivalent
oil lamp. The Ottomans and Persians of the ancient world
were particularly well known for the stunning variety and
beauty of their hanging oil lamps. The grand mosques
and architecture of the Islamic world featured many examples
of such lamps. These are our take on this ancient style
of lighting.
Our lamps are made from
tapered glass bowls with a colored finish that beautifully
catches the light. Each rests in a 3 strand chain so they’re ready
for hanging. Designed for use with a suspended wick, each
lamp includes a wire clip which holds the wick in the
center of your lantern. .
These look great hanging
from the roof of a tent or yurt, and since the oil is transparent
(unlike wax) they illuminate upward as well as downward.
The light coming downward passes through the lamp itself,
taking on its color for a unique lighting effect.You may use any sort of oil (vegetable, paraffin, citronella) or even remove the wire clip and rest a tea candle inside. Each
lamp measures 2.5" across
the opening, and 4 inches deep. Depending on the oil, each lamp holds enough for roughly 6-8 hours
burn time. Look for a larger size soon!
