ANT-385 Pair of Vintage Shepherd & Shepherdess Table Lamps
Here is a very nice pair of table lamps...definitely vintage, but it has been difficult to determine an exact age.
The lamps were cast in white metal, and have a nice "old gold" finish.
The details are very charming. The Shepherd holds a crook in his right hand, while his canine companion rests faithfully at his feet. The Shepherdess carries a jar on her shoulder, and a lamb rests peacefully below. All-in-all, this couple makes a lovely pastoral pair.
The pastoral motif has been around since the Greek and Roman times, but has been revived and refined throughout Western history. The Renaissance era produced many pieces of great art in this theme. The Victorian period also saw a resurgence in popularity of the pastoral motif.
