Description :
This pair of ornate cast iron rosette-style valve handles once functioned as decorative and functional components on antique oil lamps. Featuring a scalloped outer rim and elegantly detailed cross spokes, each handle is cast with precise symmetry and raised flourishes that echo Victorian-era design influences. These pieces would have controlled airflow or fuel flow in kerosene lamp assemblies, likely mounted to valve stems. They now offer potential for restoration use, steampunk-inspired designs, or as decorative accents in bespoke lighting projects.
