AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique CICCA carbide lamp – bicycle headlight – France – early 20th century
Beautiful and authentic antique carbide lamp of the CICCA brand, intended for lighting bicycles.
This piece features a large front reflector equipped with its curved glass, as well as its cylindrical reservoir and carbide feeding system. The marking “CICCA” is clearly stamped on the upper part, adding genuine collectible interest to this example.
The lamp presents a metal construction with specially shaped, knurled elements and a reservoir decorated with fine ribs along its lower part.
It retains a fine antique patina, with signs of oxidation, wear and marks related to its age and use. I recommend preserving this patina, as it fully contributes to the character of the object.
