1950's ARABIAN WOOD-GRAIN RUNNING MARE and FOAL ANTIQUE Lamp- RARE now days.
This lamp is in excellent condition for it's age. Wood base has felt type lining on the bottom. It measures 6 1/2 inches x 11 inches wide. The wood-grain horses are also in excellent condition for their age. No scratches that I can see, no chips or repairs. The traditional size Breyer Style wood-grain horses was used to make this lamp.
The sported rustic burlap lamp shade measures 10 inches tall and 16 inches wide. It is also in very good condition for it's age. The overall height of this lamp is 22 inches tall. It has a longer than normal cord about 70 inches long. I took pictures with the lamp lit up as well with the shade on and with it off. It has been well taken care of over the years.
This lamp has been in my family since it was purchased new in the 50's. Gorgeous and would look good in any library, office or den.
This lamp was made by MARK'S, the company appears to have been in business since 1930's, if not earlier. I have not yet been able to determine if it was related to the well-known Clayton Mark & Company of (Evanston, IL.) and Mark (no "S") Manufacturing Company of Indiana. The latter 2 companies specialized in steel, pipe and well equipment. It's not a huge stretch to think that someone in the family might have opted for the Decorative side of metal work, but could be a coincidence. I will be doing some more digging, as I am very curious to know how long the company was in business after their collaboration with Breyer. The lamp had a sticker on the bottom with Mark's name, but over the years it did manage to come off.
