Wilkinson Leaded Poppy Floor Lamp, Circa 1909-1915

Creator: Wilkinson & Co.
Offered by: Tangible Investments, Inc.

Description
Circa 1909 - 1915.

Measures approximately 24 inches wide by 5 feet 4 inches tall.

The lower portion is decorated in multi-colored poppies with a geometric brick pattern above the cap.

The base may not be original to the lamp but is certainly in the correct time period and style.

The Wilkinson Company was incorporated in 1907 in Brooklyn, NY.

The founder of the company, Elmer Wilkinson, had been trained as a clockmaker and made elaborate clock cases before venturing into art glass lighting in 1909.

Due to the financial times, The Wilkinson Co. was only in business for six years before declaring bankruptcy in 1915.

They are known for producing both high-quality leaded glass shades and metal bases.
