Description
This exquisite English antique oil lamp, crafted by the esteemed Hinks & Sons, is a striking example of Victorian-era artistry and innovation. Known for their exceptional craftsmanship, Hinks & Sons revolutionised oil lamp design in the 19th century, earning a reputation for producing some of the finest lighting pieces of their time.
The lamp boasts a beautifully silver-plated column adorned with intricate decorative details, exuding an air of refinement and grandeur. Its cut-glass font adds an element of brilliance, catching and refracting light to enhance its presence. Topping this magnificent piece is a stunning pink acid-etched glass shade, an artistic creation that diffuses light with a warm, romantic glow. At its heart lies the iconic Hinks & Sons oil burner, a hallmark of quality and functionality that underscores the company's dedication to excellence.
During the Victorian era, oil lamps like this one were not merely functional objects; they were cherished symbols of status and style, often found illuminating the drawing rooms and parlours of well-appointed homes. This lamp's impeccable craftsmanship and elegant design make it a tangible connection to a time when beauty and utility were seamlessly intertwined.
Whether you are a collector, a connoisseur of fine antiques, or someone seeking a piece with historical significance to elevate your interior décor, this lamp represents the height of Victorian craftsmanship and ingenuity. A true testament to English heritage, it invites you to step back in time and bask in its timeless charm.

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
