Statue Lamp Appraisal

Figural Statue Table Lamp

This item is a figural table lamp, featuring a statue of a male figure carrying what appears to be a large water vessel or amphora on his left shoulder, with a smaller jug in his right hand. The figure is depicted in flowing robes, rendered in earthy tones of muted green, beige, and cream, suggesting a 'natural' or 'antique' aesthetic. His head is turned slightly to the right, and his facial features, including a beard, are somewhat stylized but discernible. The statue stands on a sculpted base that appears to be integrated into the lamp's structure, transitioning into a wider, heavy-set lamp base. The material appears to be a composite, possibly resin or a cast plaster-like material, designed to mimic aged stone or carved wood, given its matte finish and varied texture. The coloring exhibits intentional distressing or patina, particularly on the robes and base, with darker greens providing contrast against lighter, almost whitewashed areas. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious cracks, chips, or significant wear visible from the provided image. The electrical cord is visible trailing from the base, confirming its function as a lamp. The lamp socket and finial (the decorative top piece that secures the lamp shade) are not fully visible but can be inferred from the overall design. Given its aesthetic, it likely dates from the mid-to-late 20th century, possibly in the 'Mediterranean' or 'Old World' revival styles.
