Hugo Schneider AG (HASAG) - Hugo Schneider AG (HASAG)...

Antique petroleum hanging lamp / harplamp from Hugo Schneider AG (Henga/HASAG) with opal glass shade – c. 1900 Description: Beautiful and unusually well-preserved antique petroleum hanging lamp (harplamp) from the period around 1900, manufactured by the renowned German maker Hugo Schneider AG (HASAG) of Leipzig. The burner knob carries the original factory mark "Henga", a sought-after brand name among collectors of historic lighting. This lamp is in exceptionally beautiful, nearly unused condition. The burner (a high-quality round burner with the characteristic openwork crown) is even still equipped with its original cotton wick, underscoring how little the lamp has been used over the decades. The sturdy metal frame has a gorgeous, authentically aged patina. Thanks to the integrated hanger eye on the frame, the lamp could be mounted either from the ceiling or on a wall bracket at the time. The lamp is completed by a spotless white opal glass shade (vestascherm) that softly disperses the light. An especially interesting detail is the original glass cylinder. It features a refined German inscription etched on it with an image of a tiny glow-lamp and the words: "GAS-GLÜHLICHT – Doppelt gekühlt – F." This type of glass was at the time combined by the factory or used as an early conversion to ensure optimal and stable air cooling.
