Antique Carved Stone Oil Lamp – From The Levant (syria Or Jordan?), 18th–19th Centuries

A rare antique oil lamp carved from a single block of dark stone, likely basalt or volcanic rock. This piece features a beautiful patina from use, with significant traces of oil and soot on the spout and inside the reservoir, attesting to its long history of use. The body is adorned with a hand-engraved geometric design composed of triangles and crosshatching. The vertical, molded handle, also decorated with an incised motif, lends the piece a strong character and evokes traditional crafts from the Levant. This lamp is cautiously attributed to southern Syria or Jordan, likely dating from the 18th–19th centuries. Dimensions: Length: 15 cm; Height: 12 cm; Thickness: 5 cm; Weight: 1.2 kg. In good condition, with signs of wear, old grime, and an authentic patina perfectly consistent with its age.
