OFFERED HERE IS A FABULOUSLY RARE VICTORIAN OIL LAMP IN THE FORM OF A COCKATOO. THIS EXAMPLE IS ONLY THE SECOND I HAVE SEEN / HAD IN 45 YEARS OF LAMP DEALING. MADE BY THE SITZENDORF FACTORY I BELIEVE ITS RARITY IS DOWN TO THE FACT THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MADE EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE RETAILER C. DIBBEN OF SLOAN ST WHILST MOST OF THEIR FIGURAL LAMPS WERE AVAILABLE THROUGH ALL RETAILERS IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
ANYWAY HE IS SITTING ON A PERCH IN A VERY LIVELY ANIMATED POSE AND HAS TWO WALNUTS AT THE BASE OF HIS PERCH , ONE OF THEM EATEN. HE HAS GLASS EYES AND IS FITTED WITH A HINKS TYPE BAYONET COLLAR WITH THE RETAILERS MARK ON IT. HE IS APROX 11 INCHES TALL AND 12 INCHES IN WIDE.
IN VERY GOOD CONDITION , EXCEPT THE FLIGHT FEATHERS OF HIS RIGHT WING HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONALY RESTORED , IF YOU LOOK AT MY LAST IMAGE YOU WILL SEE JUST HOW GOOD IT WAS DONE! PLEASE NOTE ; THE SHADE & BURNER SHOWN ARE FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS FOR SALE SEPERATELY.
