Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:49845898 | Featured Refinements: Antique Table 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.Here's a beautiful example of a Handel boudoir la...mp on a rarer than average all glass base. This is a great looking lamp with the base and shade both having yellow highlights. The shade has what look like apple blossoms with a pair of bluebirds or maybe robins in them. In terms of size, this is a boudoir sized or accent type of lamp. The shade is 6 3/4" in diameter and lamp stands about 14" tall. In terms of condition, there are no chips, cracks or even flea bites on this shade. In fact, I see no evidence of any sort of restoration at all to this shade.....it is as perfect and as beautiful as the day it was purchased. The shade is signed HANDEL 7153 and also has what appear to be artists initials G.O. The base is an unusual all glass version that really makes this lamp out of the ordinary in terms of Handel's boudoir line. It has its original Hubbell porcelain socket and acorn pull and has been wired with period style cloth braided cord. This is a very nice and clean example of one of Handel's beautiful bird themed boudoir lamps that is in very fine condition overall. I can ship this one with full insurance to any of the contiguous United States for $40. 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.
