<p>[QUOTE="dcfirebottle, post: 322531, member: 6388"]Don't really know what to think of this piece. I believe it to be an old Chinese sculpture somebody decided that would look good as a lamp. Not sure how common that practice is. Thinking of just removing the old lamp portion and putting it back the way it should be. Any opinions on that?</p><p>The little round piece (that holds the shade on), really doesn't match, it's greener. I think they're some kind of jade. The sculpture is hard and very heavy. Not too sure my grandmother liked it or not. I remember it in her attic for many years. Any guess on age? There are flowers on the standing lady's robe in the back and other places, that are hard to see, if that means anything. As always, thank you for your comments.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]107451[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107452[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107453[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107454[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107456[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
