Rare c1900 Antique Anglo Indian Carved Lion Dragon Table Lamp 24.5 tall. 24.5 tall to top of the bulb holder. With a base diameter of 8.75tal. The lion dragon of fire and smoke sits there to guard his kingdom and brings wisdom and great wealth to those who use this symbol. This light stand is specially designed to illuminate the darkness with its wisdom and give the interior greatness.. Appears to be carved from walnut wood which is an aesthetic and exquisite craft process that is distinctive to Kashmir due to the concentration of walnut trees in Kashmir. In the 15th Century, Sultan Zain ul Abidin, was a great benefactor of the arts and crafts and is considered as the pioneer of this art. During his Elysian reign, he went to Samarkand the capital of central Asian culture and brought with him many astute craftsmen to Kashmir. These craftsmen trained the local Kashmiris with such skills that became one of the most renowned handicrafts industry in the world. Superb quality piece with amazing detail not seen today. The lion dragon has inset cabouchon eyes with maybe a later edition to his nostrils… With the lower dragon around the base having later jewelled eyes. In overall very good condition. Though has a loss on one of his horns at the back…. Nothing major, but noted and does not detract from this exceptional fine rare carving.
