Rare Antique Oil Lamp with Mirror Reflector by Hugo Schneider
A highly rare and distinctive oil lamp featuring a mirror reflector and a white reservoir, with a wick holder attributed to Hugo Schneider. While the reservoir itself has a fairly common shape and color, it is the striking mirror reflector that makes this lamp truly special.
The reflector is exceptional and unique, casting a warm and atmospheric light. When viewed from the front, it creates a fascinating visual effect where the flame appears seven times. The mirror shows signs of aging, which only adds to its character and charm.
This is a classic wall-mounted lamp, also commonly referred to as a kitchen lamp.
The logo on the wick holder is attributed to the German manufacturer Hugo Schneider.
