Aladdin lamp

An Aladdin lamp is a traditional oil lamp with a metal body, wick, and chimney used for lighting before electric lamps became common. It often features a decorative design and is fueled by kerosene or oil, which is absorbed by a wick and ignited. The term "Aladdin lamp" is also associated with the popular story from "One Thousand and One Nights," symbolizing magic and wish-fulfillment. Historically, these lamps were practical household items for illumination, and today they are appreciated for their vintage appeal and craftsmanship.
