Oil lamp stand

Korea

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 233

Blending functionality and design, this oil lamp stand has an angular form evocative of modern design. The stepped shape of the column’s back serves as notches to hang a ring-shaped holder (missing in this example) to support a ceramic oil lamp and a circular shallow dish to either warm aromatics (if placed above the flame) or catch dripping oil from below.
