PICTURES DO NOT GIVE JUSTICE. This is and impressive, exceptional, monumental and extraordinary chinese gilt bronze or brass oil lamp. Made during second half of XX century. Central body with the shape of a furious and magnificent dragon, and another smaller dragon on bowl. This bowl has been meticulously handmade with the body of the second dragon and a claw with a sphere emerge. It is a very old lamp so it shows signals of use. S ome parts have been welded on base, i suppose decades ago, but it does no affect its amazing and decorative impact and can be restored to perfection for an expert (see pictures number 8 and 9). Burner has all parts and it was never adapted to electricity, however needs attention (knob is locked).
