[QUOTE="Weird Antiques, post: 4390234, member: 60048"]Hello, I am typically great at finding information on my weird items I own but here I stand with my lamp at a brick wall. To explain the lamp stands on a base to top of bulb 7.7 feet tall. It is hand carved wood with original paint and not a repaint. It was rewird around 1960s at some point in its travels from European standard to American standard plugs but the bulbs are actually expensive and European. I am assuming oil paint over top of a white plaster with a clear varnish. It is also what seems to be European Oak base as wood from what little raw wood I can see. Interesting points of interest it the head piece is unique along with nail polish and make up. She is also in the pose for victory which makes me feel it was based off of a powerful woman. Anyways I would love to figure the mystery of her origins story and pick an appropriate name for buy unique. [ATTACH=full]369607[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369606[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
