Antique Figural Spelter Lamp Base Boys Climbing Pole For Restoration Project

A magnificent and substantial antique figural lamp base, brimming with old-world character. This is a fantastic restoration project for an antique lighting enthusiast or a decorator looking for a truly unique piece. ​Dating to the early 20th century, this cast metal (likely spelter or pot metal) lamp depicts a charming, dynamic scene of two young boys playfully climbing a tall post, with a faithful dog watching from the brick-detailed base. The impressive scale and detailed casting make it a true statement piece. ​IMPORTANT - Condition for Restoration: This lamp base is being sold AS-IS, for parts or restoration only. ​Wiring: It has its vintage electrical cord attached but remains untested for safety reasons. Due to its age, it is NOT considered to be in working condition and must be completely rewired by a qualified person before use. The original socket and harp are missing. ​Finish: The original gold/gilt paint finish is heavily distressed, with significant chipping and wear that reveals the grey base metal beneath. This creates a beautiful and authentic time-worn patina perfect for a shabby chic or rustic aesthetic. ​Damage: Please note there is a visible crack around the waist of the lower figure (see close-up photo for detail). It appears stable for display purposes, but it is a significant condition flaw. ​Please review all photos and the video carefully to fully assess its condition as a project piece. ​Details: ​Type: Antique Table Lamp Base ​Material: Cast Metal
