Important information
The European standard DIN EN 14059 sets minimum safety requirements for decorative oil lamps. Due to their historical design, authentic replicas of antique oil lamps do not meet these modern construction requirements.
These oil lamps are designed for use with vegetable oils, such as olive oil. When olive oil is used correctly, there is no health risk from inhalation of vapours or accidental ingestion of the fuel.
