Arts crafts leaded slag glass bradley hubbard handel era antique lamp nr

Its a full sized lamp measuring 18 and 1/2 inches wide and is 23 and 1/2 inches tall. The lamp in overall nice condition and it lights up just great. The signed b and h base in fine working condition, with all original patina and no damage to report. The base has recently been rewired with a period appropriate cloth cord and the three socket cluster original with three satellite pulls.

The shade in good condition and throwing great color when lit. The leading tight throughout and in proper patina. I few tight age hairlines here and there but nothing to get overwhelmed with at all. There is one small area, photographed, where there is 2-5 tight hairlines in one spot, so please take a look at the picture.

Again, overall not a big deal, but worth mentioning. Recently I have been putting different lighting on with reserves and no reserves. We may be able to hand deliver this item ourselves. What that means is this.

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.
