SANCHI OIL LAMP

Move over candle lights, here comes the original – the Oil Lamp in its Sanchi Avatar. Inspired by the hemispherical domes of the stupas of Sanchi, our handspun oil lamps are meditative and aesthetic. 

The lamps are spun by hand out of copper and brass sheets. The fuel chamber can hold upto 25 ml of oil. Pour oil, insert wick and light the lamp and you’re good to go for two to three hours.
