ANTIQUE “WWI Spirit of the American Doughboy” LAMP SCULPTURE E.M. VIQUESNEY For Sale

A very rare 1922 cast lead sculpture by E. M. Viquesney. This sculpture did not last throughout the years because of the softness of the lead. The hand holding the gun nearly always broke off and was missing. Lamps were made from the original miniature statutes. This one is a lamp. It needs rewiring, but that shouldn\'t be a problem. This is almost in perfect condition. The original hand and gun are still intact except the bayonet on the end of the gun and gun strap are missing. The whole thing needs a good cleaning but wasn\'t sure how to do it. It is mainly dirty from dust in the small spots on it. It has printed on the front \"Spirit of the American Doughboy\". The back of the base has \"Copyrighted by E.M. Viquesney, Sculptor, Americus Georgia\" printed on it. This is truly a wonderful piece of history.
