Description

This lamp is a double urn that looks as though it was made into a lamp at a later date. It is guilded and some of it has worn away. I initially thought it might be George and Martha, but now I am not so sure. The man has a powdered wig and the woman is an ash blond. The guilding also trims portions of the scene, such as the creases in their clothing and the woman's hair ornament. The two urns are definitely separate pieces.
