Looks to be crudely engraved by hand. Unknown marking on the bottom, probably chinese or japanese. There is a little paint in some of the markings that I did not wash off. Age unknown, but probably 50+ years. Thanks for any help.

Thank you for all the helpful posts. After looking around for awhile I believe it is a L & F Moreau figural lamp.
If I was interested in selling this do you think it would be better to rewire it or leave it as is?

I found this sold ebay listing. The figure is the same but the background plant is different.

Apparently these is a "Figural Spelter" lamp. Still no ideas on the maker.

Yes that is very similar. Thank you. I have a pic of the base and 2 more of the lamp. Made in France is stamped in the wood.

I am unable to find info online for this lamp and would really appreciate some help. ERNTE is printed on the base. The label on the bottom indicates it was made in France(sorry there is no pic, this label is in english). The cord has been cut. I did not find a makers marking.
Thank you.
