Lamp, Johannes Hendrik Bing, 1847
silver (metal), h 8cm × d 2.9cm More details
New technology radically changed daily life during the 19th century. Such innovations, however, were no longer reflected in silver miniatures in the same way they had been in previous centuries. This silver lamp is one exception. It represents a modern type of oil lamp, introduced in France in 1836, which soon found its way into Dutch living rooms.
