💥 WOW! CASHIEN CHINESE GOOD LUCK FORTUNE SCULPTURE LAMP! LIGHT MCM VTG TABLE 💥

Description: VERY RARE! CHINESE CASHIEN-GOD OF WEALTH SCULPTURAL LAMP! SING FAT CO. CIRCA 1910 DIMENSIONS: APPROX 15" TALL BY 8" WIDE Wow! In old San Francisco in Chinatown at the turn of the last century there was a successful importer who ran a bazaar with all sorts of Chinese goods and wares as well as those of interest to the Chinese living in Chinatown! Here is a sculpture of Cashien - the Chinese God of Fortune and Wealth! The term "Cash" comes from this association. Cashien is holding a bowl in his lap. The Chinese believed that if you placed a coin in that bowl you would always have great wealth at your disposal! This lamp is one of the earliest threaded fixture lamps made after Edison introduced his threaded bulb in 1909! It had its socket and wiring replaced decades ago, but the wood base and sculpture are all original and show the century old tarnish and wear. We have never encountered another like it and it is a fascinating and collectible antique for so many reasons! It is an example of Chinese mysticism and folk beliefs, a relic from the early electric lamp period and has a metal adorned lamp shade, likely also a later replacement. Literally, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire lighting, San Francisco and Chinese history! Fine Vintage Condition! Displays beautifully! Perfect acquisition for your NY penthouse, Palm Springs atomic ranch, or San Francisco estate! A Most Fortunate Find For Your Delightful and Illustrious Interiors! _____________________________________________________ All text, images and descriptions Copyright 2025, GALLERY 20TH.
