I am a collector of kerosene (oil) lamps and live near Molong, between Orange and Dubbo in New South Wales, Australia. I specialise in the restoration and repair of lamps made by Edward Miller and Company (E.M. & Co.), particularly his central draught lamps of the 1890's and have been doing so for nearly twenty years.
In recent years my expertise and knowledge regarding 'Miller' lamps has been sort by collectors, both those specifically interested in kerosene lamps, and those whose interest includes such lamps (that is collectors of Victoriana). Within Australia I have been requested to write articles for major Antique Magazines about the lamps made by Edward Miller and Company.
As a result I now sell kerosene lamps, and all manner of accessories, both original and reproduction and offer a restoration service for your lamp, regardless of its brand. I have a display room of many and varied kerosene lamps for sale and I am happy for you to 'call in' by appointment. Should you be passing, please email me, call in and see the range of kerosene lamps for sale. I also have in stock chimneys, wicks, original and reproduction shades and other lamp hardware to restore you lamp to its former glory. If you are unable to call in, please view the 'parts and accessories' page to this website. To ensure a safe and secure trading environment I am happy for any purchase or trade to go through ebay.
As a collector of Miller lamps I was surprised not to be able to find a web site dedicated to these wonderful and very collectable kerosene lamps. In time I hope to develop this site into a reference resourse specifically for 'Miller' lamps, including the company's history and a photographic index of his lamps. I hope also that this site might become a contact place for fellow collectors to assist all of us in our endevours to restore and collect these lamps.
I beleve that what you collect, you should enjoy and appriciate, and do so every day - so if you have a lamp, get it out of that box, put it on display and even use it from time to time.
I am more than happy to be contacted by any collector of 'Miller' lamps. To build up a reference source of lamps I am happy to include a photograph of your lamp should it not already appear on this site. I am also more than happy to hear from anybody who is attempting to restore a Miller lamp, or who requires either original or reproduction parts for their lamps. If I dont have it, I will attempt to obtain it for you, and as cheap as possible. I am also happy to share my experience and knowledge.
If restoration of your lamp is beyond you, I offer a restoration service where I will, where-ever possible, return you Miller lamp to its former glory and in as a cost effective manner as possible. I am also able to offer parts and assistance in the restoration of other American central draught lamps (Rayo, success, Bradley and Hubbard etc.) and the numerous brands and types of other lamps (English and American Duplex, flat wick, European Kosmos, Aladdin Lamps to mention a few.
