A perfect "Grandmillennial" or "Maximalist" statement, this curated set (Molds 6397 & 6898) depicts the training and subsequent performance of a dancing bear.

Unlike typical mismatched figurines, these were designed as a conceptual pair, offering the symmetry and "soul" sought after by modern designers. The signature Heubach "character" faces and lifelike textures define this as a premier "Golden Era" production c.1890-1915.

Technical & Condition Details:
Condition: Pristine antique condition; collector-grade with no chips, cracks, or repairs to the porcelain.
Wiring: Both lamps are fully functional and were likely rewired at different periods (noted by mismatched cord colors).
Shades: The 15" total height includes the included vintage white shades, which clip directly onto standard bulbs. Note some age-related soiling and shedding to one lining; they are included as a courtesy and are easily replaced with custom designer clip-on shades.

Authenticity: Incised mold numbers 6397 & 6898; stamped "Germany" on bases. See less
