Description

Im enquiring for an elderly friend of mine who bought these 2 copper Chinaman Lamps quite some time ago at an Antique Auction House in Melbourne. He dosnt know where they came from or who made them but he loved them and fought quite a alolt to get the winning bid!!

They both stand at approx 60cm tall and both have glass  casings for the shade. They are not identical but only just slightly different in colour, and glass shade. The wiring I'm guesing may have been modernised along the way somewhere. There are no markings or stamps that could identify.

Does anyone have any clue as to who, where, what and how much??lol

Please help! thanking you in advance
