Topic: Vaseline piano insulator of three faces gargoyle or Chinese dragon

Yeah it’s difficult to get a picture capturing both, the piano insulator is really difficult to get a clear picture, if you google “London dolphin lamps” you’ll see ones on the river thames that this pattern is based upon which makes me think of Derbyshire landseer lions etc and the Sphinx and cleopatras needle on the embankment.

  They have turned up snouts.
How did they manage to escape from being melted down for the war effort?

I’ll start a new thread just for the lamp stand as it’s a different item.
