Our oil lamps are completely unique, hand-painted works of art, made from real Pekin and Barbari duck eggs. We offer a variety of different motifs, base choices and colours. Visit our product pages to view current offerings or explore the gallery to view some of the endless variations. Every lamp is one-of-a-kind!
Paraffin versus wax
Not only are our lamps beautiful, they are a safe and economical alternative to wax candles. Each egg comes complete with a small funnel and when filled with smokeless lamp oil (paraffin), will burn for approximately 8 hours. Liquid paraffin is non-combustible without a conduit to burn, which means that if your lamp were to be knocked over or broken while lit, a fire will not spread from the spilled oil. Because we hand-craft our wicks from Pyrex and fibre-optic fibreglass they burn completely smoke-free and never need to be replaced, a vast improvement over wax candles and their sometimes lead-based wicks.
