Key features of Schaco lamps
German quality: Solidly built, often made of metal or cast iron.
Industrial style: Popular with enthusiasts of vintage and Bauhaus designs.

Seller's Story
My passion for unique objects started early. From antique markets to garage sales, I was always searching for hidden treasures. Later, I learned the ins and outs of the trade at an auction house, and eventually, I decided to forge my own path as an independent dealer. Every day, I work to shape my shop further, and Catawiki is a fantastic platform to expand my collection and share my passion with others.
Finding unique pieces, carefully giving them a second life, and then offering them in my online store. I trust my eye for quality, my sense of style, and my craftsmanship.
