These amazing works of crude and refined metal work started with detailed pewter ewer jugs with griffin details and were converted into lamps in the early days of electrical lamps, approximately 100 years ago. The rusted metal bases were added, the nut and screw that hold the lamp post are still working so the entire lamp can be dismantled for restoration. Both still work so leaving them in this condition is totally fine if you like that weathered metal look. Shades are optional as they are not in great condition - without them you will save on shipping, please message before buying. 21"H with shade, 14"H without and due to the materials these are heavy.
