Long Description: 

I found an what I believe to be an alabaster and brass lamp. The top section of it is 100% not original. (Not pictured) The base is beautiful though. I was hoping someone would know the who, what, when and wheres of it so I can attempt to find the parts to restore it. It is approximately 17" tall and the base is 8" square. On the bottom of the base it is stamped 119. This lamp is heavy. It weighs approximately 12 pounds.

I had to take pictures with my phone so they're not quality but I got one of the signature and of the full sculpture under the best lighting I could. I've seen a.santini lions but I've never been able to find one exactly like this one so I don't know it's actual value for it's size and the rarity of this particular sculpture.  I once emailed the daughter of A. Santini who gave me a little information on it (probably 7 or 8 years ago) and she said the approximate value at the time was around $300 usd. I just wondered if it was still going for that or more or less now.
