Gilt and Gesso has dated this piece to the 1890s.
The lamp was adapted to electric during the early 20th century and has its original bulb housing of the period and traces of mid 20th century wiring but, is recommended to rewire if intended to use as a lamp again.
The spelter statute is well cast with crisp details, it retains excellent posture and structure without dents, please note there is a crack to the wrist that supports the light, it is not loose and doesn’t go all the way around.
Dimensions
Height 65cm to glass shade.
Base 20cm
Recently discovered in an attic clearance with its dust to authenticate, we shall sell as it is and allow the buyer to decide to clean and rewire.
We may end listing and consign to our workshop and rewire with twisted braided cable, new plug and PAT test but until then available as it is and sensibly priced to reflect.
Please request more photos and any questions invited.
Dispatched U.K. and worldwide within 2-3 working days with tracking.
