About the Item

This finely cast, well composed, pedestal lamp depicts mythical creatures on the base, cranes in high relief on the stem areas and birds among rocks and trees on the upper section.

Its beautiful patina is a traditional Japanese finish found on bronze item's from the period. Not shown: at some point in its history, the lamp was fitted with an insert for oil or kerosine. The insert is stamped Made in USA. The insert was later adapted again, to electrify the lamp. The bottom of the lift-out insert was drilled to accommodate electrical wiring.
