On offer is a large and beautifully preserved Welsh brass miner’s safety lamp, serial number 47955, a fine example of British industrial design and coal mining heritage. These iconic safety lamps were originally developed in the 19th century to reduce the risk of gas explosions in underground mines — becoming both a practical tool and an enduring symbol of miner identity and resilience.

This example stands at 10 inches tall (excluding the handle) and is made of solid brass with a cylindrical glass chamber and protective grill. The lamp bears the traditional embossed manufacturer’s plaque, which includes its unique serial number and classic safety lamp design. The inner mechanism remains intact, and the lamp is in good vintage condition, showing only minor surface wear and a lovely aged patina.

While this model is likely intended for commemorative or presentation purposes, it’s based on the traditional Davy lamp design that was used in collieries across Wales and the UK during the height of industrial mining.
