Featured Samurai Lamp

My friend had a dream I had a couch farm, where friends could drop off their sofas while out of town, kind of like doggy daycare, but with couches. Lol

Then there's umpteen lamps I've rescued - in no rush to rehome them

 

@J Dagger
What state are you in that you are out and about?

 

Where the doggy's going to sleep??

 

That is hilarious! Just recalled there’s a few more lamps hiding in storage.

 

I wouldn’t say that I’m out and about. Bills need to be paid though so I'm very cautiously buying and selling to keep the heat on. I predict I will lose at least 25% of my annual income from “traditional” work due to this at minimum. The bills aren’t going to stop coming though so careful transactions are a must for me.

 

From what you said, I had the impression you were still out shopping.
That's why I asked.

 

I found an image that is similar to what came to mind when I first looked at the warrior on your very now popular lamp. Like I had said, it just seemed like a different sort of character to me. Not bad, not good. I think the color is great, but, again, that is from a person that likes details and colors.
This idea is SO yesterday though, so forget it.

 

On the sofa, of course!



Then there are those you have to leave behind

Like the one you see walking home from the bus in the dark and it's starting to sprinkle...

 

Oh no! If I had a hazmat suit I would be wearing that too. I’m mostly hiding in my house.

 

I posted this on another thread here.

 

So two days ago lol! Thanks for sharing your vision. I kinda sorta maybe see what you’re saying. The ones on the lamp def aren’t what you see every day. A detailed and stylized account. So I asked for a few more photos from the seller and I guess they just didn’t want to deal with the realities of selling something online, especially in the age of Corona. They just totally ignored my message. So I haven’t heard back at all in about two days.

 

that’s definitely me. Outside of those transactions I mentioned, a couple takeout purchases, passersby while walking, grocery shopping, and the people in my house I haven’t interacted with anyone or gone anywhere.

 

The crest on the sleeves of the Samurai is of the Kobayakawa Clan, which is a well known samurai clan that descended from the very influential Taira Clan of the Heian period

 

Nice piece, i like it. Do we have a bottom pic?

 

As a follow up I really liked this lamp. I did want it for myself kind of. What I’ll usually do is buy it and list it for crazy money in that case and I’ll win either way. I just didn’t need another lamp though. I watched it online locally and he kept reducing the price and it just stayed there without any buyers for quite a while. Nothing was going to change if I was the one selling it instead of him so I just left it and I think it probably finally sold for like $25 or so if I recall. Too bad, very cool lamp and such a unique look. It was one I had to stay disciplined on though.
