This monkey is looking for a new home!
Great antique, hand-carved monkey offering you his lamp. If you look closely than you can see him reaching out and offering the lamp to you, with a slight grin. This rare and delightful chimpansee desk or table lamp puts a smile on everybodies face. The lifelike face and natural posture is a joy to watch and this lamp makes is a great decorator's piece. It has a wonderful patina and will look great in virtually every type of interior.
