This item does work and has been tested over a 12 hour period. However i would strongly advise on rewiring to your country's standard. An old french electrical plug is present. this is a striking cast spelter and gilded rearing horse lamp from the art deco period. The horse and blue opaline glass globe rest on a heavy beige and white veined marble base. The horse has lovely details. When the lamp is on the glass globe appears white. the glass globe unclips at the base for the bulb to be changed. I will not deliver this with a bulb as they are fragile and have more chance of breakage in transit. The lamp will be very well packaged, it is heavy due to the spelter and marble. see photos for details. height: 14. 5cm length: 20cm depth: 8cm european plug (up to 250v).the wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
