Pair of lamp feet in the form of African warriors of the early 20th century. Patinated and polychrome metal. Both stamped "H. & J. Gardner Paris 153 and 63 Strand London". In good condition. Measurements: 104 x 26 cm. Of this pair of lamp feet in the form of African warriors, the high degree of detail used in its manufacture is especially noteworthy. Both the clothing and the faces and hairstyles have been delicately worked following a realistic style. The flouncing of the skirts and the twisting of the bodies add movement to the compositions.
