Pair of Brass Miner’s Safety Lamps — E. Thomas & Williams (Cambrian) marked — Decorative pair

Pair of brass miner’s safety lamps offered as a decorative lot. Both lamps show a clear maker’s mark — E. Thomas & Williams, CAMBRIAN, No. 140478 — visible on the cap of one example. The lot features bright brass bodies with original patina, cage guards and glass chimneys; one lamp has the characteristic gauze chimney section and lifting bail. Overall the pair presents strongly as display pieces with authentic miner-lamp styling and an attractive aged finish.

Ideal for interiors, pub or restaurant display, photographic or film prop use, or a restoration project for a collector. These are sold for decor and display — a buyer who wants a matching working pair should budget for cleaning, glass and wick replacement and minor metalwork. The lamps will be at home on a mantel, bar shelf or themed showroom where vintage industrial character is wanted.
