Antique Arts & Crafts Handel Leaded Slag Stained Glass Table Lamp
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:27248367 | Featured Refinements: Glass Lamp |
I recently purchased a number of leaded and reverse painted lamps that I am going to be listing here with very reasonable buy it nows. I am a picky buyer of these and the ones I have here are in very nice condition. Why buy a damaged or poorly repaired one when you can get a good one for a fair price from a fellow collector of these? Please take a look, ask questions, and let me know if you need any additional pictures.
This is a very nice Handel/Unique periwinkle ...leaded glass table lamp. Periwinkle Unique shades are fairly common, but this one is particularly well done and I think the flowers are a little smaller and more plentiful than others I have seen in this design. Both the flowers and even the background glass are very colorful and simply outstanding. The dark greens in the leaves really contrast well with the predominantly pink petals of the flowers, and the caramel background glass just pulls it all together beautifully. I will let my pictures do most of the talking here and as you can see from them the lamp displays extremely well and would look awesome in any setting. In terms of size, this is a medium sized lamp with an 16" diameter shade that stands 20 1/2" tall. In terms of condition, I see a couple of small cracks here and there, but nothing serious. There are no replaced pieces and the shade has that nice rattle of an old and original lamp. Patina on both the shade and base is just outstanding. For those of you who are new to this, the shade was made by Unique and the base is Handel. Unique did not sign their shades and the ones that are signed HANDEL should be looked at as being very suspicious as copies were made in the 1970's. This is a good, old, authentic one from the early 1900's. The base is a better than average bronze one that was made by Handel but is not signed. It has its original Hubbell sockets with their old porcelain interiors and satellite ended pulls. It has been wired with period style cloth braided cord and a nice old plug and comes ready to use and enjoy. Shipping has gone up and there's really nothing I can do about that. These things need to be double boxed and packed really well. If you see someone trying to sell one of these with a low shipping price, stay away from it or I can almost guarantee you it will come damaged. I can ship this one with full insurance to any of the contiguous United States for $85. If you live in Alaska or Hawaii, please contact me for a shipping quote.If you like lamps or need parts please feel free to look at my other auctions or contact me. I am a collector of these myself and always try to offer nice examples to other collectors. I am not making a living at this so can afford to offer things up without reserve or list them at very fair prices so that other collectors can appreciate them as much as I do. That being said, please do not embarrass yourself with a lowball offer thinking you are going to get such a lamp like this. It is just a waste of both of our times. If you want to get a cheap lamp, go to WalMart or Ikea. If you want a nice quality antique old one at a fair price, you have found the right seller. One last note. If you are watching this just to watch and see if it sells, that's fine. But if you are watching hoping I am going to reduce my asking price, that isn't likely to happen as I honestly believe I am asking a very fair price for this. Keep in mind that ebay is one of the only auction venues that does not charge the buyer a premium for purchases like this and if you were to buy this from pretty much any other auction house you could expect to pay a 20-30% buyer's premium on top of this asking price. Still, if you are seriously interested in this lamp and want to discuss this price or some kind of payment plan (which I would gladly accept), please feel free to email me about it and I am sure we can work something out.
