Bradley hubbard arts crafts mission leaded slag glass antique handel era lamp nr

This is a great lamp folks and its on a very seldom seen b and h base. I have only owned this base 2-3 times in 20+ years and its one of my favorites. This is also a big lamp measuring in at 23.5 inches tall for the base and 18 and ½ for the shade width. The base in excellent original condition and without breaks or cracks in the metalware to be found.

It has its original three socket cluster and satellite pulls thats in fine working order and its been recently rewired with proper period style cloth cord. Again this base is simply without issue and very well made and quite heavy. A great organic form which simply adds to the florals in the shade. A great design indeed by b and h.

Oh yes, please look at the photo where I have two tops of the sockets cluster side by side. One is signed with the b and h triangle and one is not and that although this base is unsigned, it is 100% Bradley and hubbard without question. That said onto the shade. The shade very tight and right throughout as I see no damage whatsoever, no repairs or replaced glass, as such it needs no excuses whatsoever. 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.
