Creator: Handel Co.
Offered by: High Style Deco

Description
This exquisite acid-etched table lamp, signed by Handel and crafted in America circa 1910, is a superb example of early 20th-century decorative arts. The lamp features a beautifully textured, acid-etched glass shade that showcases intricate detailing and a rich, tactile surface. Acid etching, a technique prized during this period, allows for the creation of precise patterns and designs on the glass, lending the shade a sense of depth and artistry. The interplay of light through the etched patterns creates a warm, diffused glow, enhancing the ambiance of any space.

The striking oil-rubbed bronze base and fittings complement the artistry of the glass shade with its understated elegance and enduring craftsmanship. The bronze, with its rich, dark patina, provides a perfect counterpoint to the delicacy of the glass, grounding the piece with a sense of solidity and timeless appeal. The base showcases a classic fluted motif, reflective of Handel’s renowned dedication to form and detail.

This lamp exemplifies the American Arts and Crafts movement, with its emphasis on handcrafted quality, the use of natural materials, and a harmonious blending of form and function. Handel, one of the most celebrated makers of the period, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to create lighting pieces that were both artistic and practical. This lamp stands as a testament to that legacy, reflecting the era’s fascination with organic forms and fine craftsmanship.

Timeless and versatile, this lamp is ideal for display on a side table, desk, or nightstand, where its warm light and intricate design can truly be appreciated. Its historical significance, combined with its artistry, makes it a standout addition to any collection of early 20th-century furnishings or decorative arts.

This Handel table lamp, signed and dating to circa 1910, is not just a functional lighting piece but a collectible work of art from one of the most iconic makers of the era. Its acid-etched shade and oil-rubbed bronze base capture the beauty and craftsmanship of American design during the height of the Arts and Crafts movement. Signed "Handel A. 6299" on the undersurface of the glass shade. Newly rewired to American Standards, this lamp accommodates three edison base bulbs achieving up to 300 watts of light.
