Description from user:

This is a very nice piece. Lamp is in working condition. One of the antlers has lost the peg that keeps secured in the moose head the other one is fine. Have both antlers just don't know if should fix the one with broken peg we have the peg piece probably could just superglue it on. Don't want to if would dimmish the value of the piece. On the bottom of the lamp the wiring is in great condition just does not have a safety plate to cover the wires. There is black electrical tape covering it but needs to have more than just that. lamp shade has some spots on the canvas part that will need removed. Approximately 24.5" tall not quite 12" side to side and approximately 8.5" front to back Weights 5 pounds 6.5 ounces 6 different wood panels that are etched out of wood then canvas put behind them so you can see the etching once the light is turned on. The lamp is carved out of wood to look like a tree stump with a elk carved out of wood. Has been in storage for at least 20 years not sure before that. I can provide more pictures if needed.

My cousin had some storage buildings he left me when he passed away. This lamp was in a box. No markings on it anywhere. I have taken lots of pictures so you can see it from all angles. May even be homemade I am not sure. I know he use to go to auctions flea markets and rummage sales so he may have purchased at one of them. I am just not sure.
