Anatomy: The Classic

Side Fill Tube

Easy Filling

No need to remove your wick, top off the Classic Wolfard Lamp easily through the Fill Tube Port on the side of the chimney.

Part of the genius of the Wolfard design is utilizing the support for the oil reservoir as the filling port.

  • Tip: Try our custom-designed Wolfard Filler Spout* for the easiest filling experience. *(1) FREE with purchase of quart or pint oil!*

The Chimney

Multi-Level Flame Protection

The chimney protects the flame from foreign objects and air turbulence, unlike traditional candles. This makes the Classic Wolfard Oil Lamp great for use outdoor in windy conditions.

The Oil Reservoir

Long & Clean Burning

  • Burn up to 40hr on one fill up with the Classic Wolfard Oil Lamp.
  • Extra 100% Cotton Wick is included with each lamp for hundreds of hours of clean burning.
  • Smokeless and Odorless when using premium lamp oil with proper wick adjustment.

Question & Answer

A: Wolfard oil lamps are handcrafted using the traditional freehand glassblowing technique, making each piece one-of-a-kind. The minimalist, clear glass design allows the soft, ambient glow of the flame to shine beautifully, while the durable 100% Cotton Wick ensures a clean, smoke-free burn. These lamps combine timeless artistry with functional design.

A: We recommend using high-quality lamp oil for optimal function and longevity. Our oil burn cleanly, providing a long-lasting and steady flame. Avoid using oils not intended for oil lamps, as they may cause smoke or odor.

A: Yes, Wolfard oil lamps are designed for indoor use and burn cleanly without producing smoke or unpleasant odors, as long as the recommended oil is used. Always follow proper lamp care instructions to ensure safety, including keeping the lamp away from flammable materials and monitoring it while lit.

A: To clean your Wolfard oil lamp, simply wipe the glass with a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner. For a deeper clean, place upside down in your dishwasher away from other dishes. You can also replace the cotton wick periodically if it becomes worn.

A: Enjoy up to 40hrs of burn time with the Wolfard Classic Oil Lamp. The burn time depends on the size of the lamp and how high the wick is adjusted. On average, a full reservoir can last 6 - 12 hours, but it's always good practice to keep an eye on the oil level to ensure safe and continuous use.

A: Yes, Wolfard oil lamps can be used outdoors. Our enclosed chimney design blocks the flame from wind, making them perfect for outdoor use. Always bring the lamp indoors after use to avoid exposure to the elements.

A: Absolutely. We provide replacement wicks, funnels, and other components to ensure the longevity of your lamp. Visit our Parts & Accessories collection above or contact our customer service team for assistance in ordering the parts you need.

Beautiful Lamp!

I've gotten this for a couple real estate clients and they loved it. Beautifully made, packaging was lovely, the oil doesn't have an odor at all. Burns so nicely. Will continue to give this as a gift because it's beautiful, unique, functional and made in the USA!

I've had my large lamps for 30 years...

....and I still absolutely love them. I bought my first two at New Morning Gallery in Asheville, NC. I loved them so much that bought two for my sister and two for my mother. When someone broke one of mine, I replaced it with two, just in case. That's how much I love these lamps! I'm returning to the site now to replace a worn out lamp oil spout. :-)

Love the lamp!

I just bought a lamp for my cousin in Belgium as a wedding gift. I bought the same 12" lamp 40 years ago for my then boyfriend. We've been married now 37 years and still love it. We're now retired and 4pm cocktail hour daily...light our lamp! Cheers!
