This unique one off lamp once belonged to the famed bass guitarist John Entwistle from world renowned band 'The Who'. Entwistle was well known for his love of shark fishing, for many years the lamp graced his aquatic themed ‘Barracuda Bar’ at his mansion in the Cotswolds, which he owned from 1976 until his death in 2002. The wood trunk and sharks are in great condition as is the original burlap shade, aside from some very slight discoloring inside shade.
