Standing approximately 11 inches tall, this lovely German half doll boudoir lamp is a woman in the style of Marie Antoinette or Madame Pompadour. To me, it’s amazing that this item that is approximately 100 years old and is in such terrific condition. It needs to be rewired, but anything you buy at this age should be re-wired. Her clothing is in pretty good shape as you can see in the photos. She even has her original light bulbs still in place and the curly cue filament is still in one piece. The bulb is rather grimy. I bought this item out of a local estate and I hesitate to even clean the bulb as the person who will restore this will most likely want it untouched.
