Fragrance Lamp Small - CordobaA preciously gilded lamp, made from all shades of glittering gold mosaic pieces and finished with a glossy gold fret work cap. This lamp sparkles so splendidly it’s as if the sun is always shining.The origin of the Fragrance Lamp goes back to 1898 when a French pharmacist created the Catalytic Combustion system to disinfect the air in hospitals. The original models were made of crystal or glass and operated with the same method of purification that is used today: Diffusion by Catalytic Combustion.The catalytic burner captures and destroys the molecules that carry odours. The mixing of air and the movement from convection ensures that odours are destroyed as well as airborne microorganisms.Catalytic Fragrance Lamps actually purify the air before perfuming it. While air fresheners and room sprays usually mask odours, Catalytic lamps actively purify, cleanse and perfume the air in a wide area. Common odours in the home produced by cooking, pets, tobacco and exercising can be safely and effectively removed by using Ashleigh & Burwood catalytic lamps.
