About this seller
Product description
This antique miniature oil lamp by Oscar Schlegelmilch is a charming collector's item from the Historicism or early Art Nouveau period.
The additional word
"Amden" on the porcelain body confirms that your oil lamp is a high-quality souvenir or memento piece.
Meaning of the inscription: Amden is a well-known municipality in the canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland.
The Oscar Schlegelmilch manufactory in Thuringia specifically produced such objects for export to tourist regions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Function:
Vacationers bought these decorative miniatures as souvenirs of their stay. That a German manufactory like Schlegelmilch produced pieces for Swiss resorts was quite common at that time for high-quality decorative porcelain.
... Age:
The combination of the Schlegelmilch brand and the specific souvenir style (often with gold trim and mother-of-pearl sheen) limits the period of origin to approximately 1892 to 1914 (before the First World War).
