Vintage Hand Carved Three Graces Shell Cameo Lamp Nightlight Sculpture Wood Base
Vintage Hand Carved Three Graces Shell Cameo Lamp Nightlight Sculpture Wood Base. Seldom Seen Cameo Lamp/Nightlight/Wood Sculpture!! Intricate hand carving of the Three Graces on the Carnelian shell was originally a lamp or nightlight. I have used it as a sculpture rather than a lamp since I fear the threads on the metal piece which mounts the shell to the wood base are getting worn. Also, I think it is best not to use it as a light since the light might dry out the shell and perhaps make it more susceptible to cracking. My daughter-in-law thinks it is uber cool. I certainly wouldn’t mind keeping it and leaving it to her when I pass whi. Ch is why I have priced it as I have. Please see the last image for scale and height measurement. It will require rewiring with the cord passing through a hole in the wood base. My guess is this piece is from the 1930s, but that is only a guess. The cameo is in very good vintage condition with no crack or chips that I can see. Please examine the images showing all sides of the piece carefully. Please note the scratch at the stop of the wood base. I used a stain pen to match the stain to the rest of the wood base which I have not touched. What an uncommon and heirloom worthy piece!!!

Your 100% satisfaction is my goal. Jewelry and formal wear are two of my many passions. As with all my passions, I tend to overdo! As I was looking through my vast jewelry collection, I realized I had enough jewelry to open my own jewelry store. In the process of collecting all the jewelry, I have learned quite a bit. Sharing what I have learned with interested buyers is something that makes me smile. Thanks for letting me have my fun! Over the years, I have been collecting all types of jewelry. My taste in jewelry varies widely. Vintage jewelry to modern designs are equally appealing. The expense associated with the jewelry varies just as widely. In any given day, I may be wearing fashion jewelry along side high-end fine jewelry. Alas, I have collected too much, yet, I still want more. Five years ago, I had gastric bypass surgery. Since then, I have lost 110 pounds! Every pound is still gone! However, one bad outcome has resulted from the surgery. Did I say a little? Four closets of clothes is a’little’ overboard, don’t you think? It is time to let go of some of them, primarily, the’dress-up’ clothes.
