Description

Here we have a very unusual early 20th century alabaster lamp in the form of possums in a tree, possibly Australian in origin.

The lamp part sits on a matching and original classical shape column which is obviously also alabaster. The lamp itself is shaped as a large acorn at the top with possums climbing a tree beneath. The possums all have glass eyes.

The lamp will obviously need a new bayonet and wiring as all there is left is the brass threaded rod. The lamp part lifts off the column, the top of the acorn lifts off the base.

Having had the sun shining on this lamp where it is sitting in the shop it radiates a wonderful glow which will obviously be re-produced when there is a bulb inside.

The overall height is 64"

Declaration

Carse Antiques has dated this piece to the 1920s.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
