A great piece of American lighting. This is an unusual Table Light, made of tin and having a double wick oil burner. The light is quite stately, it measures 28 1/2 inches tall and the base measures 8 3/4 inches. The base of the light has a screw opening that you would use to fill the base with sand. The sand made the light very secure and safe from tipping over. The tin container at the top of the light hold the fluid that feed the double wicks. Each wick has a tin cap that covers the wicks when not in use and can be used to extinguish the lights. This table light is circa 1840 or so.
