Lot #2: Effusion Fragrance Lamp and Oil Set

A decorative ceramic lamp with a dragon motif and a bottle of 'Black Cherry Shimmering Liquid' fragrance oil. Fragrance lamps, also known as catalytic lamps, have a rich history dating back to 1898 when pharmacist Maurice Berger patented his first catalytic diffusion lamp to purify the air in hospitals. These lamps later became popular in homes, evolving from purely functional items to decorative pieces. The use of fragrant oils in these lamps transformed them into a way to not only cleanse the air but also to infuse spaces with delightful aromas. The dragon motif on this particular lamp suggests an influence from Asian art, where dragons symbolize power, strength, and good luck. & Hugs & Kisses Votive Holders A set of three small metallic votive holders, each adorned with a red ribbon and a word: 'Hugs', '&', and 'Kisses'. These votive holders are typical of holiday or seasonal home decor items that became popular in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Such items are mass-produced to celebrate specific events, like Valentine's Day, and are designed for decorative purposes rather than long-term investment. Pickup category timeslot {A}
