I don't know how old the lamp is; it is Victorian in style. It does not have a pull-down mechanism (the chains are simply attached to the ceiling canopy), and the lamp has been electrified and will not hold oil. It is in very good condition-Please see photos for the details. If you have any questions, Please let us know.
