Lot 271:
A Collection of Decorative Items Including an Electrified Brass Lamp, Chinoiserie Vases, and a Cowboy Figurine
Description
A collection of various decorative objects and collectibles. The group features a brass-bodied table lamp, likely a converted kerosene or oil lamp, with an ornate pedestal base and a spherical font. It is fitted with a large spherical frosted glass shade featuring etched floral and foliate motifs. The lamp has been electrified and is accompanied by a modern white UK three-pin plug. While visual characteristics and web consensus suggest designs consistent with late 19th-century models by manufacturers such as Edward Miller & Co., no specific maker’s marks are visible.
Accompanying the lamp are two ceramic vases with ruffled, scalloped rims. Each is decorated in a Chinoiserie style with panels depicting figures in traditional dress within landscape settings, surrounded by intricate floral borders on a pale yellow ground.
The collection also includes a polychrome figurine of a cowboy on a galloping horse, mounted on a base with a gold-toned label titled Wild West Collection. To the left is an open black rectangular presentation case with metal clasps, containing various documents.
