Houdan Cherub Lamp

<p>Hi, I love the lamp. I have a bronze cherub lamp and it slightly resembles the facial features of your piece, and I paid 75.00 at an antique store. I got it on sale and that was back in 1999. I am going to post it on here too once I can get my camera to work. Mine doesn&#39;t have a Houdon signature though and can&#39;t seem to find a signature. </p><p>I found a website with a bronze cherub that is modeled after Houdon and sells for $1960.00 </p><p>Check out this link:</p><p>http://www.classicbronze.com/sun/bronzese.html</p><p>look under info:  </p><p><font color="#800000">&quot;Cupid with Bow&quot; </font><br />after Houdon.</p>SCAT-191, <br />Piece measures 26&quot; H x 30&quot; W,

<p>I found a website that is selling Houdon Cupid lamps. Look below to check out this link, this particular lamp sells for $1099.00</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>http://www.frbronze.com/products/Bronze%20lamps%20&amp;%20Tables/551%20… think you got a good deal for your lamp whether it is an original Houdon or not.  </p>

<p>The lamp pictured in the original post is a modern reproduction, and for a very good reason, Jean-Antoine Houdon never made any lamps ;~). He was one of the most celebrated portrait Sculptors<br /> of his day, but he died about 60 years before electric lighting. Such lamps have been often sell for high prices when new, but have terrible resale values.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lovejoy </p>
