Description from the seller

Are you looking for an authentic piece of automotive history? This lovely "Idéale" carbide lamp (acetylene) from around 1910 is a brilliant relic from the era of the 'Pioneer Cars'. While many lamps from this period are round, the Idéale stands out for its stately, square lantern design.
This type of lamp was used at the beginning of the last century as a side lamp or headlamp on the very first automobiles. It is a heavy brass specimen that exudes craftsmanship.
Features
• Brand/Model: Idéale.
• Period: circa 1910 (Belle Époque / Veteran Car era).
• Material: Fully brass with a deep, authentic patina.
• Details: Equipped with the characteristic semicircular top cover for heat dissipation and original glazing.
• Condition: In good vintage condition; an honest object with the right signs of use for its age.
Value & Collection:
These lamps are highly sought after by collectors of antique car parts and owners of vehicles built before 1918. The appraised auction value for this model typically ranges from €150 to €200, with top-condition specimens potentially reaching even higher prices.
A unique opportunity for the serious collector or as a high-end industrial decorative piece.
