This beautiful antique bronze lamp with Japanese champlevé decoration features floral patterns and pairs of remarkable Onagadori chickens with their extraordinarily long ribbon-like tail feathers (look them up, they are amazing!).

Black-painted wood base, two separate sockets and pull chains. Wear, yes, appropriate for age and use. There is a little discoloration on the cap as photographed.

Measures approximately 26" high and 10" wide at the widest point, 6" in diameter at the base.

Note: The lamp is missing the top part of the stem. This would need to be replaced as a regular finial would not screw onto the threaded part of the stem. Any lamp shop should be able to provide the appropriate stem. We have not replaced it as this will allow the new owner to customize the height to their chosen shade.
