Stunning Original Victorian Bears Raiding Bee Skep Oil Lamp

OFFERED HERE IS A STUNNING & VERY UNUSUAL VICTORIAN DUPLEX OIL LAMP WITH THE BASE TAKING THE FORM OF A MOTHER BEAR AND TWO CUBS RAIDING A BEE SKEP THAT SAT ON A TREE STUMP. THE MODELLING IS EXTREMELY FINE AND NATURALISTIC, ALTHOUGH IT IS VERY HEAVY I BELIEVE IT TO BE BRONZED SPELTER RATHER THAN BRONZE AND IT SITS ON A TRIPARTATE SLATE FOOT. THIS WHOLE LAMP IS ORIGINAL AND I BELIEVE IT IS FRENCH BUT MADE FOR THE ENGLISH MARKET WITH A HEAVY CUT CRYSTAL FONT AND DUPLEX BURNER, I THINK THE MOULDED SWIRL SHADE IS LIKELY TO BE ORIGINAL AS WELL. IT STANDS 20 INCHES TALL TO THE BURNER, 29 INCHES TALL WITH SHADE AND CHIMNEY, IT IS ALL IN ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH JUST NORMALUSEAGE WEAR. YOU CAN ALWAYS NEGOTIATE WITH ME IF YOU USE THE DETAILS SHOWN ABOVE IN THE LISTING!
