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

I have for sale this exceptional twice signed handel leaded supersized arts and crafts lamp. Twice signed means both shade and base being properly signed. This is a great lamp and its in a seldom seen size as well.

The base measures a whopping 31.5 inches tall and the shade is 24 inches wide. The very desired gooseneck base without issue, which means no metalware breaks or damage and its in fine working order. It has its original three harvey hubbell sockets with their acorn pulls and its been recently rewired with correct period style cloth cord.

This base is also a more rarer find when it comes to handel and its a very desirable one for that reason. Its also in excellent original patina. The shade in excellent original condition with all pieces of glass present and accounted for. The shade a perfect example of an arts and crafts design. Please study the pattern as its really exceptional.

The glass warm and subtle and perfect for that arts and crafts style living room. It will command it for that reason as well as the size of it also.

The shade very sturdy and well made with the leading showing no signs of weakness nor losses. The shade signed with a handel metal tag on the upper portion and the base signed on the bottom as it should be. A few tight age stresses here or there around the border glass but not noticable at all unless you have your face up to it and your specifically looking for them.

These expected as well for the size of the lamp and the fact that its a 100 years old item. I would more nervous if they werent there lol. Maybe 8-10 total out of 400 pieces of glass and i merely reference them for the super picky who thinks all antiques should be perfiect after 100 years of age and use. So when I see your offers, I have to subtract those costs to get to my net.

The costs can be up to 250.00 per item depending on the final price. I will be offering my lamps as reasonable as possible so as to 1. Not cause sticker shock like so many other sellers, 2. To sell them and not let my inventory sit around for years on end. Thanks for checking this great lamp out and please check out my other great lighting options as well.

Zone two would be 75.00 times 20% which equals 15.00 which is added to the 75.00 and becomes 90.00. Zone three is 75.00 times 33% which is 25.00 which then becomes 100.00 for zone three.

Sorry to do this and I hope you will stay on as fine and loyal customers. We may be able to hand deliver this item ourselves. What that means is this. If you live in the following radius or just outside it, we should communicate about not using a major carrier, so it has a better chance of survival and minimizing damage or a damage claim as well.

Recently I have been putting different lighting on with reserves and no reserves. 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.
