Kupur Horse Lamps

Found a great pair of horse lamps, made of plaster and signed, "Kupur" on each.




























Can't find much information on Kupur.

The best I have come up with is Kupur is a Russian/Hungarian artist.  He was active from the early 20th century into the 50's and possibly the 60's.

I have seen sculptures and watercolors from him, but not much.

1stopretroshop had one lamp like this for $42.00.

goantiques had a pair of 1930's Kupur lamps listed for $110.00.
