PICTURES DO NOT GIVE JUSTICE. This is and impressive, exceptional, monumental and extraordinary chinese gilt bronze banquet oil kerosene lamp. Missing globe shade (easy to find an original antique globe shade). Victorian GWTW lamp with chinese signature (see last pictures). Probably the best chinese dragon you can find in all the internet and the most fabulous i have seen. 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. Burner has all parts and it was never adapted to electricity, however needs attention (knob is locked). Both highly detailed dragons have a beautiful expression with sulfide eyes and have been incredibly carved. Complete tall (including tubular shade): 39 inches. Tall excluding glass shade: 31.5.
