    Lamp said to system Carcel to rise on vase China to Canton period XIXème. Bronze mounting. This Carcel mechanism is named after its inventor Guillaume Carcel who developed in 1800 his oil lamp (rapeseed oil, for example) with a suction and pressure pump driven by a clockwork motor, which ensures the constant supply of the wick. The tank is no longer lateral: it is now under the burner. This lamp, on foot, has a burner with a cylindrical wick and a mobile glass holder to regulate the flame. The chimney-glass is throttled at the level of the flame. The Carcel lamp, reputedly expensive and fragile, was reserved for a wealthy clientele.
