    We don't know much. We were told they are imported from Italy ( that much is obvious I guess ) sometime between 1945 and 1970 I believe. They were given to the caretakers of this house then given to us. Both lamps are around 20 inches tall. Even though they are twins you can see where certain parts aren't 100% identical so I would assume someone sculpted the set. If you know anything about these twin lamps I would greatly appreciate it.

      That's a good question Sean. I dunno... I uploaded another picture. Maybe this can help because lol I don't know anything about this stuff. Anyway, I carefully placed one on bunch of towels so I can get a picture of the bottom of one of the lamps. Picture # 4 is uploaded.

      Thank you so much Phil ! That helps shed some light on these 2 pieces. I'll take a look at the table. Thanks again.

      Oh man, I see what your talking about now. Very similar but it doesn't look like they were ripped off from something like that. Here, I'll post a different picture showing the back of one of the lamps.
