[QUOTE="R. Antonis, post: 420198, member: 3943"]Hi everybody, 2 months ago I have bought this beautiful French sculpture. It had a hole in the back, and all the lamp parts were missing. I have taken some time to restore the sculpture, and it's finally finished. I'm very happy with the result. I've given it a new glass lampshade (flambeau/flame), shadeholder, and lamp holder. I've closed up the hole in the back with mallable metal. Painted it step-by-step with metal paint, and finished it with a clear coating, to make it as shiny as the rest of the sculpture. ______ The sculpture itself dates from the 19th century. Made in France. But what does it respresent? Is it a gladiator? A roman soldier? A french warrior? I had a sculpture like this before, which represented a 16th century french warrioir. (According to the comments on this website) It was pretty much the same style, and I would like to know how to "name" this one. Thank you very much! R. Antonis [ATTACH=full]146740[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]146741[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]146742[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]146743[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]146744[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]146745[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]146746[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]146747[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]146748[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]146749[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
