FIGURAL CARVED TRI COLOR ALABASTER LAMP OF WOMAN

Up for sale is a FIGURAL CARVED TRI COLOR ALABASTER LAMP OF WOMAN. This beautiful lamp features four different styles of stone with colors such as white, cream, brown, black and grey. The lamp features a Victorian dressed woman holding a bouquet of flowers. She is sitting on a rocky ledge or wall. One of her shoes has fallen off and there is a bag or basket beneath her. There is great detail carved into this statue as you look through out the pictures. There are finely etched designs in the clothing and even the hat and stockings are carved to feel textured. Both the wall and floor feature deep brown and black designs. The pedestal part of the lamp and the globe are smooth with a grayish-black marbled look. The bottom is unfinished with score marks running across.

There are no markings to give away age or origin but the seller is pretty confident this came from Europe. The lamp appears to have a newer vintage two prong cord as there is little fraying to the wiring. The plug itself may be original. Looking at the back of the statue there is a diagonal line going through where the wire goes in. We believe this cut was made to insert a pathway for the wire. There was a 2- piece cork ring that went between the pedestal and the base to avoid grinding but part of it has broken of so we have removed it for now to keep the pedestal from being uneven. A few turns of the pedestal tighten it right up. Another half of ring could most likely be made to fit in there but you don’t really need it.

We want to note there have been repairs done to this piece. Some of them were obvious, such as on the globe and others were not seen right away. Whoever did the repair did an excellent job as the cracked areas are very clean. It appears this lamp was broken into a few pieces. There is a break just above the waist line that goes all the way through. There also appears to be one break on the right arm and possibly two on her left arm. We have taken close ups of all of these areas. The other repair is on the leg which was broken off. This was clearly repaired at a different time because you can see the adhesive used. One may be able to heat up the adhesive and remove it so you could clean it up and reapply it correctly.

The pedestal looks to be in good shape but there are a few chips on the edge of the globe base’s rim. It appears the top part of the light socket was replaced because the metals are a slightly different color. The top globe has been repaired and currently has cracks. This damage is from heat from being in close proximity to the light bulb. On the inside there was some sort of white coating applied as shown. The top clearly shows the heat damage with the brown ring. There are cracks from the edge of the top circle outward. The sections are not loose, but care must be used when handling. The outside of the globe looks like it may have cracks in the side because of the difference in color. We have shown what they look like. If they are, they are hairline cracks because you can not feel them running your fingernail across them.

The lamp measures approximately 34 1/2” T x 14” W x 12” D at its longest points. The base is approximately 11 1/2" W x 8 1/4" D and the globe is 10 1/2" in diameter at its widest point.

As always, please view all of the pictures to see the items condition as we are selling it repaired. There should be no section that is not photographed. We mentioned the major flaws, but there are also small chips and scratches in spots that we photographed as well. If there is something you feel we missed, please ask.
