AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Old acetylene lamp Vitæ Belga, Belgian-made, early 20th century, intended for lighting bicycles, motorcycles, or light vehicles.

Brass body with a beautiful original patina, domed front lens made of glass.

The upper cap shows an old dent, with no structural deformation, and does not detract from the aesthetics or the object's authentic charm.

Also note: the glass is cracked in the upper part (visible in the photos), which in no way detracts from the item.

Unrestored technical and decorative lamp, kept in its original condition, appreciated by collectors of antique lighting and industrial objects.
Its dimensions: height 20 cm, width 16 cm, depth of the glass 9 cm.
