1940s Antique Brass Setter Desk Lamp

This solid brass Setter Figurine Desk Lamp with brass lamp neck and a pivotal brass shade was manufactured in the 1940s and sits on its original solid wood base.

The Lady of the House was conducting business (un-related to dogs) on the phone one day and in the process of a pleasant conversation with a lady from New Hampshire, discovered the New Hampshire lady and her husband had an antique shop as a second business.

Half-jokingly (and certainly not expecting a positive reply), The Lady of the House inquired as to whether they ever ran across any "English Setter-related items" and much to her surprise, the New Hampshire lady told her that occasionally they did indeed ~ and in fact had just acquired a desk lamp with an English Setter on it in the past week at an Estate Sale in Vermont.

Responding quickly to The Lady of the House's request for emailed photos and a price, The Lady of the House wasted no time in getting a check in the mail addressed to the couple in New Hampshire.

About a week after sending off the payment, this great lamp arrived carefully packed on our doorstep ~ much to John's great delight and surprise. As promised, it was much nicer than the pictures showed it to be ~ and it also works perfectly. It stands thirteen inches high and eight inches wide at the wooden base.
