Kerosene lamps were very popular in the late 19th - early 20th century. Due to the lack of other sources of lighting, kerosene lamps have become widespread all over the world. It is not the most environmentally friendly and safe source of lighting, but in those days it was almost indispensable. When the widespread introduction of electricity began, kerosene lamps are a thing of the past. And now it is a Museum exhibit. Let me tell you the story of my Desk kerosene lamp, which I restored in today's video.

This lamp has not been used for a long time. The last 20 years or so, it hasn't been lit. She was just lying in the pantry and was about to be thrown out. But it just happened to fall into my hands. And I decided to restore it. It was already quite rusty, a bit rumpled, and the paint in places peeled off and peeled off. The glass bulb was missing.
The first thing I took the lamp apart and decided to get rid of the old paint. To do this, I used a special paint wash. After that, I removed the paint with a metal brush, and the remains were treated with a grinder.
The next step I cleaned the wick holder. I just cleaned it out of soot and dirt with solvent and sandpaper. The wick did not change, as it was still of sufficient length.
After that I started painting. In as a first layer and used the mill white first coat. And the base was taken over red enamel. Forgive me, in my videos I will often paint things red. I varnished the top.
After drying paint I brought together all and checked. You know what? Light from such a lamp is not very much, kerosene smokes very much. How did you use these lamps? Alas, I do not understand. But the process of restoration of the table kerosene lamp was interesting. Watch the video and don't forget to subscribe to the channel, like and comment.
