ANTIQUE BAMBOO TABLE

Hand Mirror from the Art Nouveau Period.

A hand mirror, once used by a lady to check her appearance, is now a unique and beautifully crafted piece of art. The mirror is shaped like a pond, with a girl sitting by it, gazing into the water and pinning a flower in her hair. The delicate details on the mirror, such as grass blades, water lilies, and a frog, are surprising. Due to the strong patina of the mirror, it becomes an even more special piece, creating the illusion of real water and mud in the pond. Such mirrors are a rarity today and are highly sought after by collectors. Nowadays, this mirror will certainly no longer serve its original purpose but will be an excellent decorative piece that will inspire us with its playfulness and bring a smile to our faces. Dimensions: 16 x 13 x 7 cm Weight: 400 g The mirror is in excellent condition, bearing the marks of time, which only adds to its charm and enchantment.

However they are used, candlesticks are undoubtedly one of those items that come in handy on every occasion. Dimensions: 21.5 x 11 cm Weight: 560 g The candlestick is in excellent condition."

Spring-loaded candle holder made by the Ditmar company, produced between 1895 and 1907.

A rare example of a perfectly preserved spring-loaded candle holder. The candle holder, with its spring, allows you to adjust the height of the candle so that, regardless of the candle's length, it always stays at the same height. An interesting addition to a festive table or a shelf where you can always admire it. Karl Rudolf Ditmar, the founder of the Ditmar company, was born on May 3, 1818, in Prenzlau - Brandenburg. He came to Vienna in 1839. During a business trip to Paris, he is said to have encountered the still-controversial, heavy-working moderator lamp. Improving these lamps soon became his main concern. On August 5, 1840, Ditmar founded a trading company dealing with oil lamps, cups, and lacquered tin. The next step was establishing a workshop for lamp repairs, followed by an attempt at in-house production. Together with his brother Friedrich, whom he invited to Vienna, Rudolf led the company as "Gebrüder Ditmar" in 1841. For this purpose, a "state permit for the production of lacquered tin and zinc composite goods" was issued, creating a legal basis for the first lamp factory in Vienna and Austria. During this time, the brothers succeeded in developing the "Viennese moderator lamp," a spring-loaded lamp that was both inexpensive and reliable due to its adjustable oil supply. After the death of his brother Friedrich in 1858, "Gebrüder" was removed from the company's name, and it became Lampen Fabrik R. Ditmar. Even after his death in 1895, the company retained his name and tradition. Dimensions: 41 x 11.5 cm Weight: 510 g The spring-loaded candle holder is in excellent condition.
