Pair of reflectors 1950

Cabinet 23 offers: A rare pair of flower-shaped reflectors, dating from the mid-20th century. Petals made of patinated iron and small round mirrors as the pistil. Antique reflectors are lighting devices primarily used to optimise the diffusion of light emitted by a candle, an oil lamp, or, later, a gas lamp. They take the form of reflective metal plates or structures, sometimes curved or adorned, placed behind the light source to redirect and amplify the light flow into the space to be illuminated. #reflectors #antique #decor #antiquity #antiques.
