[QUOTE="Lecollectionneur, post: 411363, member: 8569"]What bothering me in that piece if somebody paid me to examin it is that it's nothing on the base which really remind in the cover decoration. The base is late Premier Empire, cast feet and handmade redecored, the cover is made on a lathe by knurling method. There is a "godron" in french around top of the cover that you can found normally on the base and I can't see it on the pictures, same with the knob design. But they are a lot of objects which have been completed through their life, and we have to accept them as they are. A "marriage" is normally in our professional french language something so nicely made that you can't see what was done without disassembling or really close looking, it's expensive to make and only used with really nice items. Bonwen's shell lamp is a piece we see often on markets made somewhere with no books and no internet connection:arghh:, sorry to kill shells to make that…[/QUOTE]
