Seller: copperjar ✉️ (5,019) 100%, Location: Surrey, GB, Ships to: GB & many other countries, Item: 235286345389 Antique Wild & Wessel Kosmos-Brenner Brevete Brass Oil Lamp Ceramic Base. Wild & Wessel of Berlin in 1865 developed the "Kosmos" burner, where a flat-wick formed is round. To obtain clean burning, a side draft was used to induce combustion air to the center of the circle of wick.  The side draft burner obviated the need for a central air shaft through the fuel reservoir, and were easier to manufacture than  centre draft lamps  To direct the air flow properly past the flame, these burners used a pinched, reduced diameter chimney.  Emil Wild was granted  US patent #303774 on Aug. 19, 1884 for a Kosmos burner with a flame spreader.  This burner was in my opinion the epitome of brilliant design. Sold in the US as the B.B.S."\\\\imperial burner" burner. These lamps were absolutely outstanding burning lamps, easily putting out as much light as a larger center draft lamp. The base is in good order no chips or cracks  Some of the Gold on the base has faded a little This lamp is totally unrestored.
