Here we have an original and scarce Jones & Willis 'Triplex' Patent Doty Light.
This lamp is HUGE!
The fount is ruby glass, the shade is opal.
The shade ring is correct for this burner, it has been soldered in place, it is the same design I had on a smaller 'Cathedral Lamp' by Jones & Willis, fixing to the (usual) ball shade gallery. This would more than likely have been used in a church, Jones & Willis were church outfitters in the 19th Century.
Chimney is a Veritas Triplex chimney, in their premium 'Sun Brand' (best quality crystal).
Dimensions; The lamp measures around 18 1/2" tall (to the top of the chimney), the shade is 12 fitting! Fount to sit in a ring of around 5 1/2"
Condition; Excellent, shade has two very small nibbles to the fitting rim, hidden when in situ, burner was an extinguisher model, there are no remains of the extinguisher, other than the slot the lever went through, as it arrived, works as a regular non-extinguishing model. One of the three bayonet lugs has some old solder on it, secured at some stage in the past. Shade holder soldered and original flat gallery modified in process. Small air bubble at base of fount (not a hole, it's within the glass), shows as lighter in colour if held to a strong light. Other than those trifling flaws, there is nothing ugly or detracting in any way, from this interesting lamp.
Overall, a very large and imposing lamp, these are few and far between, as mostly a utilitarian piece of lighting, not many would have been kept when electricity crept in.
Good luck and happy bidding! UK MAINLAND (N Ireland please ASK), Packing, Handling & Signature - £12.00,
USA, Packing, Handling & Signature - £70.00,
Australia, Packing, Handling & Signature - £95.00.
