[QUOTE="The Marshall House, post: 289158, member: 4657"]Hi everyone! The Marshall House is back with some cool items! The two pieces (pointed to with red arrows) are on display in the Marshall's library. They are of Chinese influence and were owned by George Marshall. We'd like to know what they are! Our curator is guessing they are lamps of some sort. They are brass with a central opening in the middle of the removable top. There are four small "handles" on each piece and etchings of Chinese buildings and landscapes on the sides. There is also a large hole in the stand on each, as seen in the photo. We don't know when they were made because Marshall could've bought them during the 1940s, but they could be older. Could a glass covering go in the hole on top? Any guesses are welcome! Thanks!
