I have a pair of lamps very similar to this except they are gold. I fell in LOVE with them and had to have them - I however, only paid $5 for each at an estate sale. I lucked out. This looks like its a little heavier quality than the ones I have. I think $65 is a little much - but I also am one that if I can't stop thinking about something I better grab it because you don't want to regret it later!

love it!

This is the sort of piece that sets a space apart from the rest. If you love him, incorporate him. And don't feel like he has to match everything around him. He'll stand out even more.

I don't think that $65 for an unusual lamp is too much. However, you need a new shade which could add expense, but you will have a very nice and unusual lamp. I would have snapped it up.

I like it,it's different

I have been researching Chinese furnishings for a project and this is a lovely piece.

The shade is all wrong, but if you love the base and keep thinking about it then I would say it's worth however much you can afford to pay. You could pay an awful lot more for something very ordinary.

HI -- I love the lamp - for sure my style - but not the right shade - needs more pagoda style silk shade or a natural linen texture. Not so sure the walls behind are the best backdrop for this piece. Maybe that's what is throwing your Husband off. Husbands almost never like this style - don't know why. Take hubby to a lighting store and see what he likes and maybe let him have the one he likes for in his own area of the house , then both of you will be happy. $ 65. doesn't seem to be a bad price - at least in my city .

I really like it.

You cannot stop thinking about it ... there is the answer. You should definitely buy it!

Just what I would need for my decor ,get it its a good price .

Love it! You can absolutely use this in traditional. If you don't get it, tell us where it is so we can buy it. Ha!

Who sells it ?

Love it…love anything Asian and it goes beautifully with traditional. I have two of these ladies on my console. $65.00 is a very, very good price for it. How is the shade?

Me, I wouldn't pay $65.00 or even $.65 for it. It's not my style at all. However, if you like it that much and really want it then hey, it's only $65.00.

I also like the figurine. But the lamp coming out of the top of his head is a little weird. Can the lamp be removed without damaging the man?

You need a different shaped shade, but the lamp base is unique, and if you love it, then buy it. That is a great price for a nice lamp.

Thank you, Barnhart. How do these posts manage to “ survive”? Our dilemma, I guess. //////

I am collecting them on the Using Houzz forum. I will add this one to the collection. Supposedly this is working as designed but I am trying to demonstrate that no, it is not.

Not my style, but all that matters is what you like. Go for it!

I agree with all above. Do not pass up something that 'speaks' to you. I can see it with a black or even red shade with a gold lining. The price is well worth easing your anguish. Do you have place in your home in mind? Best to you.

Lots of personality. I like him.

Straight to eBay if someone gave me that.
