Male Figure at Seashore Sitting. I pack professionally to facilitate your damage-free receipt. If you pay the. And you will have to file your own claim. Art glass in pictures not part of listing – Available separately – Please inquire. The initial two pictures with the red shade shows a poorly restored left hand. Remaining pictures now show a new restoration by a local artist. I bought this lamp from an antiquities dealer almost 20 years ago and it sat in a box in storage until this summer. Almost any flat or near-flat shade between 1/8 and 3/16 of an inch in thickness will fit into the slots behind the long haired maiden and I chose 3 colorful shades in my studio to showcase her beautifully crafted features. The figure possesses finely chiseled details from her face to hands, torso and even toes. A previous owner attempted to reattach the severed left hand using a steel pin but the resulting repair was unsightly and detracted me from considering further work until a better solution for the unfinished repair became available. I recently consulted an artist who had the tools to do so. The nudist appears to be perched on a stack of rocks over moving water, her right leg astride her left knee while her foot is ankle-deep in the current. The rock cluster is unusually geometric, perhaps hinting at a subtle transition from Nouveau to Deco? She leans down into the waters with her right hand in. While her left spears high in deft counterbalance to naturally circumvent a fall. The tension of her pose, the movement of the waves and the surreal sense of serenity on her face all collude to create a scene of potential peril and innate wonder. Any lighting shade will drive home or diminish these perceptions. This lamp weighs 1 lb 2 oz before packing. I will have to pack with extra care to protect the repaired hand. It measures 9 inches tall, 9 1/2 wide and 5 deep. The socket, wire and plug all appear original consistent with the time period. The metal surface shows a faded finish appropriate for the age. The bottom green felt cover is present but sagging and may benefit from replacement. A magnet does not attract and the metal appears to be spelter. I see no other major flaws nor any markings to indicate a maker. I acquired this compelling figure piece with a handsome hoard of lamps and period parts from established antiquities dealers over the years for my lighting business.
