STUNNING * FIGURINES* VINTAGE CAPODIMONTE LAMPS 47"




























Hello! Welcome to Jacklynfind's  listing !!!
Up for bid! NO RESERVE!
This is absolutely a stunning pair - very rare find -  in design and condition . This pair will surely go to the highest bidder.
NO CHIPS. NO CRACKS. NO CRAZING. THE METAL PART IS BEGINNING TO SHOW THIS BEAUTIFUL PATINA THAT DEVELOPS AS METAL AGES.
Up for bid is this  Pair of the most beautiful - stunning - huge - vintage capodimonte sculptures - of a handsome young man and his dog and beautiful lovely young woman and her lamb - both are carrying a bundle of firewoods - and looks like they are taking a rest stop - under this beautiful great lamp post with huge white glass lamp globes
my adjectives are all superlatives - because this pair of lamp and figures are definitely SUPERB!
We are not equipped to take great pictures for this size of items. So, I will attempt to substantiate the pictures with a description of this wonderful pieces
THE LAMP WITH THE YOUNG lovely WOMAN
  • This lamp measures: 46" tall (bottom to tip of the metal finial), 31 1/2" - bottom to the intertwined base where glass globe is resting, 27 3/4" tall - bottom to tallest part of the girl's head-dress, base is 12" diameter or 39" circumference, the globe = 12" diameter at the widest part, measurement from front of the base to the widest part going back is about 13"
  • The lovely young girl has dark blond hair, beautiful blue eyes, well shaped eyebrows, well chiseled nose, full pouting-like lips like Angelina Jolie's
  • The  artist did not miss any detail. An amusing feature is the girl's feet - please see pictures and note how she extended her feet to the back - and how she steps in front - it reflects  the gracefulness of a ballerina, it shows lithe - lightness - maybe - it is a reflection of that lightness you feel when you are with your loved one - at that young age - you know what i mean - it is amazing - the way the artist rendered her feet - please notice even the archs - they are gracefully rendered.
  • The ruffles in her dress - tiny waist - set above a richly ruffled skirt and sleeves
  • she is resting under a huge white glass lamp globe. the post that holds the glass globe is metal - (which is a rarity by itself in our modern times - since plastic was introduced_ - the lamp tube is decorate with spiral lines going up to the base - the metal base that holds the lamp is shaped like a small urn - accented with metal beads running in each section of the urn - finally - the base on which the glass globe sits is elaborately decorated with intertwinig loops and beads. Finial is metal - and you can see the intricate design in the one of the pictures.

THE LAMP WITH THE HANDSOME YOUNG MAN WITH HIS DOG

  • The lamp is 47" tall (about an inch taller than the girl's lamp); 32 1/2" bottom to base where the glass globe sits,  29" tall= bottom to the tallest part of his hat, 12" diameter for the base, 39" base circumference
  • front to farthest part to the back is 13"
  • Young man has darker shade of blond hair, blue eyes, well defined eyebrows and well chiselled nose, full pink lips. His steps looks more solid and firm compared to the young girl's; he looks very strong and eager, his pants are rolled to the knees - showing that he has really done some work - his dog his coming up to him - asking for his attention.
  • The "lamp post" for the young man - is also metal - but his is shaped to an angle to accommodate the shape of his hat into the overall picture. The base on which the glass globe sits is decorated like the one on the girl's - the difference is that his lamp holder is now a darker and less gold compared to the girl's. I don't know if that was what it was originally - or that it acquired the patina through the years.

Each lamp is about 25 lbs net weight ( meaning unpacked.  I estimate - it would weigh about 32-35 lbs  each (for the base) packed- extra large packages. I think we will have to ship the items in 3 separate boxes: one each for the base and another one solely for the glass globes.

Each piece will be professional packed. These pieces are truly art work and they will be treated as such in packing them. Cost will be actual expenses charged to us by professional packers. We estimate the professional packing expenses alone to be anywhere from $100 to $150 plus actual shipping cost and insurance.

THIS IS A RARE FIND. WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS SINCE WE STARTED EBAYING 7 YEARS AGO - AND MY JACK, MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN COLLECTING EVER SINCE HE CAN REMEMBER.

OFTEN - YOU SEE A PIECE LIKE THIS - BUT THEY WILL HAVE DAMAGES -

Pls. see the pictures. We try to simulate the way when we are at the store and looking over an item that we are interested in. In the store, we turn that item around, see bottom and top views, look at the details - etc. So, we try to simulate that action - as far as possible - so you see a lot of the item. We generally follow this pattern:
*full view ,
*close up of the various interesting features of the subject matter ,
*back, bottom, and markings.
* Papers/documentation if any
* Original box if any
We try to take as many pictures as possible to give you a good look at the item - also to capture the qualities that makes these pieces highly collectible /desirable-  Often - we succeed in capturing the elements we see in the pieces- but sometimes the subject is a little challenging. Please, if there is something you need to clarify - email us before bidding. We answer within 24 hours of receipt of emails.
Happy shopping - the Ebay way!!!

PACKAGING (This is our standard provision for other items. For this particular item, please see how we will have the item packed professional as discussed above).
 
We packed our items very well with tissue and lots and lots of bubble wraps and/or peanuts. In cases of many items in the box, we place separators to ensure that the items do not bump with each other. If items are super delicate , we double box if needed.  We take extra care in handling the items for shipping to you. We know how disappointing it feels when you excitedly anticipate receiving the item - and they come broken. We work to spare our customers that experience.  Nevertheless, We ask that insurance be taken as we cannot be responsible for items during shipment; at least, this way, the financial value of the item is covered.
