Unusual vintage sanctuary oil lamp. Made of a metal heart-shaped wall holder with ruby pink glass recipient. It was bought at an auction house as a church oil lamp but it might also be a plant holder paired with a church glass oil receptacle.
I have a second one as visible in the last photograph. 
The one for sale here is the one with the shortest and lightest glass receptacle. 
The one with a longer and darker glass is sold separately. 
The metal holders are very similar on both lamps but there is a very small size difference. 
Signs of age and heavy use. 
The black painted metal is very scratched and worn so the colour is gone in places or faded in others.
Some imperfections and white paint stains are visible on the metal. 
Some small parts are rusted.
A gap visible on the metal ring holding the glass.
The glass has some natural flaws and bubbles. Wear, small scratches and marks at the edges mostly. The clear bottom of the glass is chipped.
Size metal sconce: approx. 21.2 x 20.4 cm / 8.26 x 7.87 inches
Height glass: approx. 14.7 cm / 5.51 inches
Diameter at top of glass: 10.3 cm / 3.93 inches
Weight: 788 grams.
The pictures are part of the description.
 
Thanks for visiting Cabinet de Merveilles!
