All antique oil lamps on these pages of the Roman store under Roman oil lamps are made in the traditional way from two-piece molds and fired at over 1000 degrees Celsius. After drying, the picture lamps - in all of them the mirror adorns a plastic representation - usually receive an engobe, a special ancient clay slip. The lamp can be filled with cooking or olive oil but also with commercial lamp oil. Romans usually used olive oil, because this was abundant in ancient times and accordingly cheap.
Not only on the table or decentrally placed indoors, this lamp is a real ornament. Since wicks burn robustly, antique oil lamps can also be perfectly used outdoors, in the garden or on the porch. For example, when barbecuing in the garden, Roman oil lamps create a pleasant soft and at the same time bright light. And of course there are many other beautiful examples of oil lamps on these pages of the Roman store - look for yourself and make yourself or a loved one an enlightening joy!
