“Electroplating and Finishing a Classic Kerosene Lamp(oil lamp)”

Kerosene Lamp (Gardsouz Lamp) The gardsouz lamp is an old lighting device widely used before electricity became common in homes. It works with kerosene (lamp oil) and consists of a fuel tank, wick, and glass chimney. The brightness could be adjusted by raising or lowering the wick. Besides lighting, it also produced a small amount of heat. Today, it is mostly used for decorative or nostalgic purposes, often seen in traditional-style cafés or old houses. --- History and Origin The kerosene lamp dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries. It was first developed in Europe, especially in countries like Austria, Germany, France, and Poland. A Polish inventor named Ignacy Łukasiewicz is credited with creating one of the first modern kerosene lamps. In the United States, the lamp also became widely used and was later introduced to Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. In Iran, gardsouz lamps became popular during the Qajar era and were commonly used in homes, mosques, and caravanserais. --- Key Facts: Fuel: Kerosene Era of origin: 18th–19th century Main producers: European countries and the U.S. Use in Iran: Since the Qajar dynasty --- Manufacturing and Assembly of a Kerosene Lamp (Gardsouz) A traditional kerosene lamp, also known as a gardsouz, is made up of several metal and glass components, each playing a specific role in its function. The process of making and preparing this lamp involves three main steps: --- 1. Separation of Components At first, each part of the lamp is produced separately. The main components include: Fuel tank (usually made of metal or brass) Wick holder and cap Glass holder or collar Glass chimney (also known as the globe or shade) Handle or base Each part is individually cleaned, shaped, and prepared for finishing. --- 2. Electroplating (Metal Finishing) Electroplating, or metal coating, is an important stage in lamp production. It improves appearance, protects against rust, and extends the life of metal parts. In this process, a thin layer of another metal is applied to the surface of the lamp components. Common Electroplating Methods: Nickel or Chrome Plating Gives a shiny, polished look and strong resistance to moisture and rust. Often used for decorative or luxury lamps. Brass Plating Creates a warm, vintage look. Common in classic or traditional-style lamps. Manual Tin Coating (Tinning) A traditional method used in handmade or antique-style lamps. A thin layer of tin is applied manually, often seen in artisanal products. Electroplating Process: 1. Surface cleaning with chemicals to remove grease or rust 2. Rinsing and drying 3. Plating in a special chemical bath using electricity 4. Drying and quality control After plating, the metal parts are shiny, rust-resistant, and ready for final assembly. --- 3. Final Assembly In the final step, the components are assembled: The fuel tank is placed as the base. The wick holder is screwed or fixed on top of the tank. The wick is inserted into its position. The glass chimney is placed into the metal collar or holder. All parts are tightened and aligned carefully to ensure functionality and durability. --- Conclusion The production of a kerosene lamp involves separating and preparing the components, electroplating the metal parts for protection and appearance, and assembling everything with precision. This process blends engineering, craftsmanship, and tradition, especially in lamps designed for decorative or nostalgic use. --- 🔚 Final Note for YouTube Upload: If you found this video interesting and informative, don’t forget to: ✅ Like the video ✅ Subscribe to the channel ✅ Share it with friends who love traditional craftsmanship ✅ And leave a comment below — we’d love to hear your thoughts!
