This photograph, Plate 227 from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a stunning collection of Silbers patent burners from the 1880s. The burners, featuring both circular and flat wicks, were designed for use with petroleum, paraffin, or kerosene as fuel. The intricately patterned metal bowls and glass shades exhibit an ornate Victorian design, reminiscent of Greek key motifs and other popular decorative patterns of the era. These burners, with their duplex and Miratus extinguishers, were available in a variety of shapes and sizes, each with adjustment knobs for fine-tuning the flame. The burners' simple yet elegant design allowed them to blend seamlessly into any Victorian home, providing both functional and aesthetic value. The burners in this photograph bear the Silbers patent mark, a testament to their innovative design and quality craftsmanship. The trademark medals, proudly displayed on the burners, further emphasize their unique status as desirable household items. These burners were produced during a time when lighting technology was rapidly advancing, and their elegant design and versatility made them a popular choice for Victorian homes in Melbourne, Sydney, and other major Australian cities. The photograph, taken circa 1880-1881, offers a glimpse into the rich history of lighting technology during this period and the enduring appeal of these beautiful and functional objects.
