FOR YOUR ATTENTION & CONSIDERATION: THE MOST UNUSUAL PAIR OF ELECTRIC LAMPS, IN A FORM. THIS AMAZING PAIR WAS DISCOVERED THIS SUMMER, DURING MY HAWAIIAN TRIP. THEY WERE FOUND IN. THAT WAS A FORMER DANCE HALL AND GAME CLUB IN DOWNTOWN HONOLULU. ONCE I SAW THEM I. APPEARANCE AND STARTED TO GATHER AS MUCH INFO ON THEM AS I POSSIBLY. ON THE SPOT USING. BEFORE EVEN MAKING AN OFFER I ALREADY KNEW THAT THEY. CURATOR OF THE BUILDING FOR HIS PERMISSION TO DETACH ONE OF THEM. TO LOOK FOR A POSSIBLE. MARK, BUT GOT A DEFINITE “NO” FROM HIM AND WAS ASKED TO COME UP WITH. SO, AFTER THE FIERCE. NEGOTIATION I WAS THE OWNER OF A VERY STRANGE LOOKING AND. WERE SO DIRTY THAT I HAD TO WRAP. THEM UP IN A PAIR OF BEACH TOWELS THAT WERE LATER. BY THE HOTEL PERSONNEL WHERE I. IT TOOK ME A WHOLE DAY TO CLEAN THE. AND OF COURSE, DURING THIS. PROCEDURE I DID FIND THE MANUFACTURERS. MARKS AND CAN STATE NOW THAT. PORCELAIN MONKEY FIGURINES WERE. IN FACT MADE IN CHINA DURING THE LATE 20’S AND EARLY 30’S TOGETHER. WITH THE SOFT WOOD BASES. SHADES AND ALL METAL HARDWARE AND. WERE DONE IN THE. PRE WAR, WHICH WAS THE COMMON PRACTICE BACK IN. THE LAMPS ARE IN A GREAT CONDITION. WITH NO CHIPS CRACKS OR REPAIRS TO PORCELAIN AND GLASS, ONLY SOME NORMAL. WARE TO METAL, PAINT AND SOME MINOR. PITTING DURING THE MAKING PROCESS. OVERALL I WOULD RATE THEM AS 10 FOR. ORIGINAL ANTIQUE CONDITION ON A 10. I ONLY REWIRED THEM WITH PERIOD ELECTRIC CORD AND WAS ABLE TO LEAVE THE OLD SOCKETS, PLUGS AND. FITTINGS, SO THEY WORK. GREAT AND LOOK ALMOST THE. THEY WERE INSTALLED IN A VERY POSH AND STYLISH. HAWAIIAN NIGHT CLUB IN A CARD GAME. ROOM WHICH, AS I FOUND. OUT LATER WAS CALLED ” THE ZOO”. THE MEASUREMENTS ARE: 29″ AND 28.5″ TALL TO THE TOP OF THE FINIALS, 8.5″ AND 9″ AT THE WIDEST. SHADES, BOTH ARE 10 DEEP AT THE LONGEST PART OF THE WOODEN BASES. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS, SEE. MY OTHER ITEMS AND VISIT US AT.
