The Original Wolfard Classic Oil Lamp
An American original. Handcrafted in California. Made to be enjoyed for generations.
First created in 1972, the Wolfard Classic Oil Lamp began with a simple idea: to create an elegant yet functional piece of art that brings warmth, beauty, and timeless light into any space. What started as an original design became an American design classic, earning recognition in the Whitney Museum of American Art's High Styles: Twentieth Century American Design exhibition.
Today, more than five decades later, every Wolfard Classic is still individually handblown by skilled glassblowers in Northern California. Made from premium borosilicate glass, each lamp is unique, with subtle variations that make every piece one of a kind. We remain proud to be a family-owned and operated American business, continuing the original tradition of quality craftsmanship.
