Handel arts crafts slag glass student floor desk dbl lamp Bradley hubbard era nr

Recently I have been putting different lighting on with reserves and no reserves. That said, i have for sale this super handel double student desk or floor lamp.

I have never seen this type of handel base before let alone the shades and I have honestly owned 100s of handels. This is one great lamp. The base can be used both as a smaller sized floor lamp and or as a double student desk lamp because it has a telescoping riser so the owner can raise or lower it to desired height. The arms stretch out to be 25 inches wide without the shades in place. There is no damage at all to report and the only thing that I can see thats been altered is that its been recently rewired with proper period style cloth cord.

Its got its original handel turn keys, sockets, and its in fine working order. The patina on it is a very nice chocolate brown throughout and the base also signed in original cloth tag and felt.

The handel shades look like a million dollars on the lamp and are in equally nice condition. They measure 5 inches tall and the lower opening is 5 inches wide.

There is no damage at all other than they seem a little dirty. Theres no glass chips, flakes, or cracks to be found in the shades and they light up better than my photos project. Both shades properly signed, please see photo.

Please Check out my other items! Some great Bradley Hubbard, Tiffany, Handel, etc. Chances are if there aren't any, it's a newer item and you shouldn't want it anyways. In other words, a minor blemish on some metalwork belonging to a large shade or a 1/16 by 1/16 of a paint flake missing, please try and be reasonable.

I always describe the important aspects towards condition reports and sometimes my eye misses what I deem immaterial issues such as the aforementioned sentence. There are a few things in life we cant do without. Food, water, fire, oxygen, the sun, shelter etc. So when it comes to shelter and necessary light for it, thats where I come in. I believe in living simply and within my means but surrounded by items of great quality.

Of and the wasteful utilities that go along with that. So why is it people go out and spend. Not to mention you got the same usage for that entire time period? This makes infinitely more financial sense than the other choice, plus you have a conversation piece in the room and something to be proud of. Also you have more cultural feeling invested in something 100 years old knowing that it can never be duplicated by modern making techniques and knowing there a few, if any, like it left for this world and now its yours. You display it and care for it. So again thats where I come in. Great period lighting when electricity was still in its infancy.

When makers like Bradley and Hubbard, Handel, Tiffany studios, Pairpoint, and others cared about quality, appearance, and function. When makers were trying to outdo one another with this new business boom of electric lighting. When we went from whale and kerosene oil lamps and gas, to electric. This is when the best lamps in the world were manufactured and the ones I want to light my home with when its dark. I cant control the sun or the amount of light it provides or when it comes up or goes down, and whether its cloudy or not, but I can control the light in my home when its dark.

And like I said earlier, I want nice rugs, paintings, pottery, furniture, etc. And I want to see those items lit by great lighting. Its what makes a home more outstanding and livable because without it you see absolutely nothing. A quality lamp makes or breaks a room. You can have the best rugs, furniture, paintings, and accessories in the world, but without great lamps or lighting nobody will ever see it.
