I'm sure there's a way to get them off to change the bulbs - but I've never done it. It does work - I don't have it plugged in or anything.<br /><br />I am sure the lightbulbs have been replaced - but it would be nifty if the bulbs were also really super old, too. :)Mariann Simmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974827167853824792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-8269496313625901712012-04-29T20:42:38.366-05:002012-04-29T20:42:38.366-05:00It is a sculpture by Emile Bruchon - who, accordin...It is a sculpture by Emile Bruchon - who, according to stuff on Google, was active from 1880-1910 (he died in 1910). He was a French artist - but other than that - not much. Seems his stuff isn't astronomically priced (too bad). My mother had this one for years and years - and while some of them are now copies and fakes (made in China and whatnot) - I am nearly 100% certain this one is real. But even with it being real - it probably wouldn't fetch more than $600-$1000. It's a shame - it's absolutely gorgeous. Certainly looks a lot more expensive than the value. But, hey, maybe one day everyone will want one and there won't be very many to go around and it will be worth $50,000! :)<br /><br />I also found online that he had some stuff for Tiffany & Co. Whether he worked there - or whether that's just a fake one - I haven't a clue. I found this one online once - so I know it exists - I just forgot what the name of it was.<br /><br />My mother was very fond of antiques - and I love them as well. I have many things here which are moderately priced - Google helps - as many drawings and stuff are by real artists - unfortunately, again, nothing like missing Rembrandts or Rubens. Dammit. She was from Belgium - she ought to have one lying around somewhere, right???Mariann Simmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974827167853824792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-57283078828018943872012-04-29T20:07:38.618-05:002012-04-29T20:07:38.618-05:00That is a beautiful statue!
