Chicago mosaic slag glass leaded arts crafts Bradley hubbard handel era lamp nr

This is also a very large lamp with the base measuring in at 26 and ½ inches tall and the shade being 22 inches wide. The base in tree trunk/root form and quite heavy and very well made.

There is no damage to be found and the base appears to be 100% original including a great patina throughout. Its been recently rewired with period style cloth cord and its in fine working condition. It retains its original acorn socket pulls as well. The shade very well made of course and would be called a waterlily.

It has cattails in it and simply great usage of color in the glass. There are no missing segments of glass and the leading tight and right throughout. As would be expected for a shade this size and age, there are some tight age cracks here and there throughout.

Nothing to be alarmed about and they certainly dont weaken the shade but need to be mentioned for accuracy sake. I would say there are 10-12 scattered throughout (out of hundreds and hundreds which makes them less noticeable) which is important as you wouldnt want those in one central location because that would have meant the shade took a hit in its day. Again these dont detract at all from the lamp and is probably average to below average count for a Chicago waterlily lamp.

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.
